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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: China. Exact habitat location has not been disclosed. Dr.
Fowlie reported the plants as, "Epiphytic on trees north of Biejiang,
extreme Western Yunnan, China." This places the habitat in approximately
the same area as that of Paphiopedilum armeniacum. This location is
substantiated by Cribb (1998) where the habitat was described as follows:
"It does, however, come from one of the most remote areas of western China
that abuts northern Burma. Good roads into the area are a relatively
recent phenomenon. With their advent the number of orchids being collected
there has risen dramatically and this has put the known populations under
pressure. It grows on north facing rocky slopes in the well-forested
Gaoligong Mountains that run north-south parallel to the Burmese border
along the western flank of the Salween river (Nujiang)." Habitat elevation
was not reported, however.
In the Koopowitz description, distribution is given as, "The plants are
said to originate in Mengtze, China near the borders of Laos and
Cambodia." This should probably read, "near the borders of Vietnam and
Laos", or "near the borders of Laos and Burma". In any event, this area is
well to the south and east of the area reported by Fowlie and Cribb and
seems questionable because China has no border with Cambodia. Since the
location reported by Fowlie seems more precise and accurate, we have
elected to use climate data from the same station that was used for
Paphiopedilum armeniacum and have estimated the habitat elevation at 3000
ft. (910 m). The resulting values, however, should be used with a great
deal of caution until more accurate habitat information is available.
