ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread from Sikkim and northeastern India across
Myanmar (formerly Burma), through Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, Vietnam,
China, Taiwan, Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, Malaya, Sumatra, Borneo, the
Celebes, and the Philippines. In Thailand, plants have been collected in
the northern mountains in the vicinity of Chiengmai at 3600-5250 ft.
(1100-1600 m). In Malaya, plants have been found at various locations at
500-3950 ft. (150-1200 m) and at locations in eastern and southeastern
Thailand at 2600-3950 ft. (800-1200 m). In China, plants are found on
trees in sparse woods or on cliffs along ravines at 1000-5250 ft.
(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. Plants usually
grow as a terrestrial, but it is also found in hollow logs on trees at
1000-5900 ft. (300-1800 m).
