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: Myanmar (Burma), Thailand, Vietnam, Malaya, Sumatra,
Borneo, Java, and Sulawesi. In Myanmar, plants have been found near Mergui
and Moulmein with no additional details reported. Plants have been found
near Ranong and at several other locations in peninsular Thailand. The
plant has only been collected once in Malaya where it was growing on top
of limestone near the Batu Caves, which is just northeast of Kuala Lumpur.
The variety sumatrana was originally found between Padang Panjang and
Kampong Tengah in West Sumatra at about 3300 ft. (1000 m), but has since
been found at other locations in West and North Sumatra. Although reported
earlier as occurring in Java, Comber (1990) did not discuss it in depth as
it has been such a long time since the plant has been found there. In
Borneo, plants have been found in Kalimantan, Sarawak, and Sabah growing
in forest on limestone at mostly 1950-2950 ft. (600-900 m). Plants in
Sarawak, however, have been found at numerous locations from near sea
level to 2600 ft. (800 m).
