I have not grown this plant. There has been one documented siting of this plant in Ecuador in a mountain forest in 1981 (if the identifier was correct in its identificaton). Source: The New York Botanical Garden (NY Specimen ID: 499325) It was described as being "Petals green. Top leaves red. Stalk red brown." by J. E. Madsen 36704.

There were 2 specimens found in Costa Rica according to a report by the National Institute of Biodiversity (1997). There are 7 other specimens listed as being found in Costa Rica as well. (Source Manual de la Flora de Costa Rica ...Copyright © National Institute of Biodiversidad and Missouri Botanical Garden, 1995). I found this quite interesting.
