Distribution and Ecology: (Fig. 20C). Cuba, prov. Oriente, chiefly in Sierra de Micara, Cristal, and Moa, and limonite plateau near Moa, but also few collections from Sierra de Nipe. Thickets, stream sides, open pinelands of Pinus cubensis, on reddish lateritic soils developed through weathering of underlying serpentine rocks; ca. 300-1100 m elev. Vegetation of Moa plateau described in Leon (1941, 1946), Marie-Victorin (1942), Alain (1946a), Webster and Jervis (1952), Marie-Victorin and León (1956), and Borhidi and Muñiz (1986). Flowering probably March or April to late June or early July.
