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: Southwest China in Guizhou, Yunnan, and Guangxi provinces
southward into northern Thailand. Most of the plants in cultivation
labeled as Paphiopedilum esquirolei originated in Thailand, however.
Plants are found at 3950-5900 ft. (1200-1800 m.). The late Dr. Fowlie
(1990) reported that in extreme northwestern Guangxi Province of southwest
China, these plants are often found in the shade of trees on
northeast-facing benches on steep slopes above the openings of limestone
caves where they are bathed in moist air coming from the caves. They have
usually sprouted on lichen encased saplings or tree roots and then sent
their roots through a layer of fallen forest humus and leaf mold to attach
to underlying limestone. Plants were sometimes even rooted in the black,
clay-filled soil. In Vietnam, this lithophytic orchid has been found in
the northeastern province of Cao Bang where it grows on vertical cliffs in
mossy, primary and secondary forests of evergreen and semideciduous trees
at 1150-2950 ft. (350-900 m).
