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: South Africa. This terrestrial orchid is common along
streams, near waterfalls, and in seepages along cliffs near Cape Town in
the southwestern part of Cape Province. These plants are always associated
with permanent, flowing water, growing in black peat-based soil, deep
sand, or moss beside streams and in rock crevices with its roots firmly
established in moving water. Plants form dense colonies along streams
above the midsummer water level, but with high water resulting from heavy
winter rains, they may be completely submerged. Plants grow in acid
conditions with a pH of 5-6 and can not tolerate water with a
concentration of salts greater than 200 parts per million. Plants are
found most often in full sun but grow in conditions ranging from full
shade to full sun at elevations of 350-3950 ft. (100-1200 m)
