Its native range is south-eastern Nicaragua to northern Ecuador. It is found in the countries of Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Nicaragua and Panamá. [2]
The genus name of Jagrantia is in honour of Jason Randall Grant (b. 1969), an American botanist in Neuchâtel, Switzerland and specialist in Bromeliaceae.
