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: Eastern Australia. The habitat extends northward from near
Newcastle to the McPherson Range, just south of Brisbane. Plants grow in
the highlands at 2950-4600 ft. (900-1400 m). They are usually found in the
upper branches of Antarctic beech (Nothofagus moorei) where they receive
strong filtered light, but the tree foliage protects them from the
brightest summer sun and winter frosts. The habitat is commonly cool and
cloudy, and plants are often in the clouds for several days at a time.
Rainfall is heavy, and snow occurs in winter.
