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: Southeast Australia. The habitat extends from just south of Genoa in Victoria (37.7S) northward to Bulahdelah in central New South Wales (32.4S). They are found from near the coast to about 150 mi. (240 km) inland in the Mudgee area. Plants usually grow on rocks in open forest and at the base of cliffs, but north of Nowra in the Cambewarra Range, they are found high on rainforest trees in a very moist area with strong air movement. Some of the largest flowered forms grow in leaf mold on rocks in the foothills of the Blue Mountains west of Sydney. Plants growing in the interior mountains near Mudgee are exposed to frost, snow, and a dry west wind in winter and to searing heat in summer.
