Range Description

Known from four subpopulations in the coastal foothills of the Andes. The southernmost subpopulation was recorded in the Ila mountains (near Patricia Pilar, between Los Ríos and Pichincha, now a very disturbed locale) and the northernmost one in Ventanas, Esmeraldas province. The other subpopulations occur in the watersheds of the Cayapas and San Miguel rivers. The Esmeraldas collections have been made in both primary and secondary forest.
