This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.
ORIGIN/HABITAT: Northeast India. Paphiopedilum spicerianum is found along
the Burmese border in the states of Mizoram and Manipur. It grows in the
Barak and Sonai River gorges in the region near Slitter, and plants have
also been reported in extreme northwest Burma. Paphiopedilum spicerianum
grows on limestone outcrops and cliffs at 1000-4250 ft. (300-1300 m),
shaded by ferns and gingers. Plants, which are usually found in shallow,
humus-filled pockets in the limestone with their roots anchored to the
rocks, also grow in moss and thick humus at the base of trees and on moss
covered rocks. Paphiopedilum spicerianum grows where water is always
available. Even during the winter dry season moisture is obtained from
mists rising daily in the river gorges and from water seepages along the
cliff faces that keep the substratum constantly moist.
