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: Madagascar. This orchid is found mainly in the central-southern part of the island where it grows among rocks, mostly in dry forests, at 1300-3950 ft. (400-1200 m). Plants may be found in humid evergreen forest or in dry scrubland, however. The areas where this orchid is found experience a distinct, long dry season when most of the moisture comes from early-morning dew and occasional mist.
