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: Widespread from northeast India through Burma, Thailand,
Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, then southward through Malaya, Sumatra, and
Borneo. In Thailand, plants have been reported from all regions, except in
the vicinity of Bangkok. Plants are usually found at relatively low
elevations, but collections have been reported from as high as 4250 ft.
(1300 m). Plants generally grow as terrestrials in the shade of bushes and
shrubs. They are normally found in sandy, well-drained soil that contains
an accumulation of organic debris.
