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: Australia. Found from near the Hastings River (near 32S) in northeastern New South Wales to the Conondale Range (at about 27S) in southeastern Queensland. Plants usually grow in the humus on rocks or in cracks and crevices of rocks and cliffs. They grow in moist, rather heavily shaded conditions in dense rainforest, in gorges, and in ravines on the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range. These plants, which are always found in areas with strong air movement, are found from moderate elevations up to about 3300 ft. (1000 m) but are seldom found above 2000 ft. (610 m). Upton (1992) reported, "Large pendulous clumps are frequently seen growing on sheer cliff faces, with their roots rambling for many metres over the surface. Very occasionally it is found low down on trees near rocks in these rainforest areas."
