ORIGIN/HABITAT: Java. Plants are found near the southeast coast at
650-2300 ft. (200-700 m). They usually grow on cliffs of soft, crumbling
limestone, where their roots extend into moss and leafy humus near a water
seepage. Comber (1990) reported, "Formerly very common in the low hills
south of G. Semeru in East Java at from 450-770 m, where it grew both in
the soil and on rocks on steep hillsides. Unfortunately in the years
1965-1980 it was extensively collected for sale locally and abroad until
it is now very difficult to find. Luckily there are still a few flowering
plants on almost inaccessible cliffs in this area."
