ORIGIN/HABITAT: Malawi. This orchid is found throughout Malawi. They
usually grow at elevations of 3300-5750 ft. (1000-1750 m), but plants are
occasionally are found as low as 2150 ft. (650 m). Plants grow as
epiphytes on tree trunks and small branches, usually not far above the
ground, in moderate shade. La Croix (1997) reported that in the wild
plants have been found growing in forest under conditions so dark that a
light meter did not register. Plants also grow and flower well in rather
bright light, but under these conditions the leaves become rather yellow.
