From 14°45'-15°20'S and 57°11'-62°20'W in Bolivia (Santa Cruz) and Brazil (Mato Grosso) at 178(150-250) m elevation, mostly in the Pantanal region in gallery forest, forest patches in savanna, shrubby forest, or semideciduous forest, often in flooded areas . Two specimens, not included in the above description, are unusual and may be hybrids. One (Krapovickas 31940) appears intermediate between subsp. prostratus and possibly D. polyacanthos. The second (Cid 4636) is from the north of the main range of subsp. prostratus and is reported to come from 'campo natural cerrado'.
