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: India and Vietnam at 1500 ft. (457 m). It usually grows near forest streams or marshes which, together with dense undergrowth, result in high humidity year-round, despite dry conditions in adjacent areas. The plants grow 10-15 ft. (3-5 m) above the very dark forest floor on rough-barked trees.
