ORIGIN/HABITAT: The terrestrial orchid was discovered in China where it is
found in almost all of the country, growing in wet and rocky places or
open, grassy slopes or in sparse woods at 350-11,500 ft. (100-3500 m).
Vietnam. Distribution is now known to extend from Siberia, primarily east
of the Urals, eastward to Japan and Korea as well as the Himalayas and
southward to Malaya, New Guinea, Australia, and New Zealand. Over its
range, plants may be found at elevations up to 8200 ft. (2500 m) often in
full sun on acidic or alkaline substrates in damp situations on grassy
slopes, along riverbanks, or around waterfalls, and sometimes even in
areas that are submerged in winter. In Vietnam, plants have been found in
the northeastern province of Cao Bang near Nguyen Binh. The plants, which
are common in the area, grow in secondary open grassland on alluvial soils
at 1950-4900 ft. (600-1500 m). In Malaya, plants are rather rare but have
been found is several regions in the mountains. On Sumatra, plants have
been found in almost every province at elevations of 2800-5200 ft.
(850-1590 m), but Comber (2001) reported that he has found these plants at
much lower elevations in Java. In Australia, plants are found in the
eastern and southern coastal regions from Queensland southward to South
Australia and Tasmania where, according to Jones (1988), plants are found
"in fairly open situations where there is abundant soil moisture such as
bogs, marshes, swamps, and around springs. In high rainfall areas it may
occur in grass and pasture. It is often locally common and grows in loose
groups or colonies."
