ORIGIN/HABITAT: Known only from Mexico. Plants are found mostly on the Pacific side of the mountains in the
states of Durango, Guerrero, Jalisco, Michoacan, Nayarit, Oaxaca, and Sianola. However, they are also reported on
slopes facing the Gulf of Mexico in the state of Veracruz. Plants are found in rather dry oak and oak-pine forests at
4250-7200 ft. (1300-2200 m). They grow in a pendent manner, hanging upside-down from the bottom of branches on
the host trees. -- Source: Charles Baker |
