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. This terrestrial orchid is distributed in southern
Shaanxi and Gansu Provinces as well as in the provinces of Hubei, Hunan,
Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou, and Yunnan. Plants grow in rocky and grassy
places in open forests and along valleys at 2950-7850 ft. (900-2400 m).
This orchid is found in the same type of habitat in many of the same
regions as Bletilla striata (Thunberg ex Murray) Rchb. f., but usually at
somewhat lower elevations. We would, therefore, expect Bletilla ochracea
to be not quite as cold-hardy as Bletilla striata.
