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: Borneo. Paphiopedilum stonei is found only in Sarawak near
Kuching at 200-1650 ft. (60-500 m). It usually grows on steep,
northeast-facing slopes or cliffs, where it is lightly shaded by the
crowns of trees growing at the base of the cliff. It clings to the
limestone with only a minimum of humus and leaf litter accumulated around
the roots, but the roots are often embedded in lithophytic mosses.
