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: Endemic to Andaman and Nicobar Islands. This possibly
extinct species was found on mangroves in muddy swamps. Plants hung from
large branches just a few feet above fresh water creeks, fully exposed.
The localized population was decimated by overcollecting and all records
are historical. Sweet (1980) and Christenson (2001) were unable to locate
any specimens in cultivation, and their studies were conducted using a
series of historic specimens preserved in herbaria and a few published
drawings.
