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: China in southeast Yunnan Province and northeastern
Vietnam. Fred Mark and other Chinese sources report that plants are found
in mixed, mountain forests at 3300-4900 ft. (1000-1500 m). However, the
late Dr. Jack Fowlie found plants at 1800-2800 ft. (600-900 m) on
east-facing slopes on each side of saddles or mountain passes between
steep-sided, round-top mountains. Moist air is funneled through these
saddles, and additional moisture is available from mist and condensation,
and during the dry season, clouds are formed on the southeast slopes of
the mountains and forced through the saddles. Paphiopedilum micranthum
grows in soil made up of clay and deteriorated limestone which is packed
into cracks and fissures in the rock. In Vietnam, plants are found in the
northeastern Province of Cao Bang. Plants usually grow as lithophytes of
terrestrials on very steep rocky slopes in mossy, primary forests of
semideciduous, mixed, and coniferous trees growing in areas of weathered
limestone at 1950-4900 ft. (600-1500 m).
