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: Thailand, Cambodia, and Laos. This area has long been
thought to be the extent of the habitat, but recent reports indicate that
this species may also occur on Hainan Island, China. Plants are humus
epiphytes, and the roots are usually embedded in deep leaf litter,
detritus, or leaf-mold. Plants are occasionally found on a mossy boulder
in a deep forest at (600-700 m). The forest habitat is usually cool and
mist shrouded.
