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: Northeast India and Burma. Plants are found in the Mizoram (formerly Assam), Nagaland, and Manipur regions, growing near the Burmese border in the Naga and Lushai Hills at 2300-3950 ft. (700-1200 m). Paphiopedilum hirsutissimum may be found growing in thick humus at the base of trees, on moss covered rocks, and along cliff faces; but the preferred habitat is in the crotches of tree branches where thick moss and leaf litter collect. Plants known as Paphiopedilum esquirolei are reported from northern Thailand and Guizhou Province of southwest China.
