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: Burma, Thailand, Malaya, Borneo and the Philippines with distribution extending through Sumatra, Java, and the rest of Indonesia to as far eastward as New Guinea and the Solomon Islands. Plants grow in wetter, non-seasonal lowlands throughout the range at 2950 ft. (50-900 m). Plants are most frequently found in the first fork of trees which have a light canopy. While rather common through most of its range, this orchid is now considered rare in Java, probably because of habitat destruction.
