Sauroglossum nitidum
Location 3
Sauroglossum nitidum has a wide native range and is said to occur in Colombia, Ecuador, Brazil and northern Argentina, although specimens have also been found in Peru, but not from Colombia. It occurs across a wide range of altitudes, from approximately 600 to 3,800 m.
Habitat 3
This species lives as a terrestrial herb. Specimens of this orchid were predominantly found in the Serra do Mar coastal forest ecoregion of Brazil, as well as from Bahia interior forests and Alto Parana Atlantic forests. Other specimens were located in the Cerrado ecoregion, the Dry Chaco of Argentina, the Peruvian Cordillera Central paramo and the Northern Andean montane forests and paramo of Ecuador. The habitat types of these ecoregions include tropical moist forest, semi-humid mixed forest, gallery forests and grassland. Surveys have reported specimens found in open/closed swamp gallery forest (Nogueira Batista et al. 2004) and in well-drained forested areas as well as swampy habitat (Jurinitz and de Moura Baptista 2007).
