- DISTRIBUTION & HABITAT
Nidularium procerum has the widest geographic distribution of the genus, followed by N. innocentii. It ranges from Bahia, where it is found even at the western limit of the Atlantic forest, in Wenceslau Guimaraes municipality, to southern Brazil, passing the "Torres gateway" in Santa Catarina and penetrating into the state of Rio Grande do Sul, where it is much rarer. This species follows the Atlantic forest down the coast, invading transitional areas with associated formations such as mangroves and restingas.
It grows trom sea level to nearly 1,000 m altitude, sometimes forming large terrestrial populations or growing in isolated patches on rocks or as an epiphyte in the lower layer of the forest. Populations have even been reported from permanently flooded areas (see chapter 1) .
Nidularium procerum is found growing in several public conservation units throughout its range. It has two distinct flowering periods, Typical of the genus, it flowers in the rainy season, from November to March, or it may also flower from July to September. There are many clones in cultivation, including those that are direct descendents of the type specimens of the taxa that were placed in synonymy here. —See Leme 2000a
