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: Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, and Burma. This orchid is found
in the sub-Himalayan regions at elevations below 1500 ft. (455 m), where
it grows in warm and humid tropical forests. It is also found on those
portions of the plains that receive more than 79 in. (200 cm) of rainfall
each year. As a result of the high rainfall, forests develop that provide
suitable orchid habitat. Plants have been found in West Bengal, Bihar,
Orissa, South India, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Assam, and Gujrat, as
well as in west, central, and east Nepal. This orchid is rather common in
Sri Lanka, in the northern district of Jaffna, across the north-central
part of the island, and across the island from the east to west coast. The
habitat extends into the districts of Batticaloa, Polonnaruwa,
Anuradhapura, and Puttalam. In Sri Lanka, plants grow on trees in the
tropical, dry, mixed evergreen forests.
