(300-1600 m) in southern Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, and Yunnan. Plants have been found in many provinces in Sumatra at 1950-4900 ft. (600-1500 m), growing mostly low on tree trunks or on steep earth slopes. In the Philippines, this orchid has been found on Luzon in the provinces of Benguet, Mountain Province, and Nueva Vizcaya.
