It is found in Belize, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, El Salvador, Guatemala, Honduras, Mexico, Nicaragua, Panamá, south-western Caribbean and Venezuela.[1] The genus name of Pittoniotis is in honour of Joseph Pitton de Tournefort (1656–1708), a French botanist, notable as the first to make a clear definition of the concept of genus for plants.[2] It was first described and published in Bonplandia (Hannover) Vol.6 on page 8 in 1858.[1]
