Brazil Southeast present (Henderson, A.J. (2011) A revision of Geonoma. Phytotaxa 17: 1-271.)A
From 20°04-23°19'S and 40°43-44°36'W in the Atlantic Coastal Forest region of Brazil in Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, and Rio de Janeiro at 955(175-1265) m elevation in lowland or montane rainforest.
Most specimens are from the Serra do Mar in Rio de Janeiro. The outliers from Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo appear somewhat different but there are too few specimens to test for differences. (Henderson, A.J. (2011) A revision of Geonoma. Phytotaxa 17: 1-271.)A
