ORIGIN/HABITAT: Sri Lanka (Ceylon), India, Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, and
Vietnam. In Sri Lanka, this orchid is said to be rather common, growing on
trees in the tropical wet evergreen forests at 3000-4500 ft. (915-1370 m).
Plants are reported to be common throughout Taiwan where they grow in
forests at 1650-3300 ft. (500-1000 m). In Vietnam, this creeping,
lithophytic, or occasionally epiphytic, orchid is found in Cao Bang
Province at several locations near Thang Heng Lake. It is common and
locally abundant, especially along ridge tops. Plants grow on limestone
outcrops and cliffs in primary, broad-leaved, evergreen and mixed forests
at 1800-2950 ft. (550-900 m).
