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: Vietnam and Cambodia (Kampuchea). This orchid has a very narrow range of distribution, and in Vietnam, it is found near Dalat at 4250 ft. (1300 m). These plants are cultivated in the gardens at the Dalat Institute of Biology, a branch of the National Center for Natural Sciences and Technology of Vietnam. They are probably not in cultivation outside of Vietnam at this time, however.
