The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker
The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Africa. This orchid is found throughout most of tropical
Africa to as far south as the southern coast of South Africa. Plants grow
most often in woodland, but may sometimes be found in riverine forest, at
1950-5250 ft. (600-1600 m). I. & E. la Croix (1977) report, "We have seen
plants in Swaziland growing on rocks and epiphytically on Aloe arborescens
on an exposed hilltop where they must have endured a long, hot dry season,
although they would have received some protection by growing in a cleft of
the rock." Stewart (1996) reports that this is one of the most widespread
orchids in Kenya, being found from near sea level to about 9850 ft. ( 3000
m) on trees and rocks in most regions where the natural vegetation is
undisturbed, usually in situations where the plants receive bright
sunlight.
