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: Widespread from the northwest Himalaya to southwest China to Hainan Island and Hong Kong. Distribution extends southward through Myanmar (Burma),Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, and Malaya to Sumatra and Java. In Malaya, plants are found from Perak northward. Plants described as E. albidotomentosum have been reported as common in West Java where they are found primarily as epiphytes on isolated and roadside trees from near sea level to 3600 ft. (1100 m). Comber (2001) reported that E. lasiopetala has been found on Sumatra from Aceh in the north to Lampung in the south at elevations from quite low to 6900 ft. (2100 m). In Malaya, plants identified as E. pubescens has been found from Perak northward, but details were not given. In the Himalayan region, plants have been found in Nepal, northeast India, Bhutan, Darjeeling, and Sikkim where they grow in subtropical forests on river banks at (390-660 m). Although reported as occurring in China to as far north as Hong Kong, we have been unable to find details of habitat location, type, or elevation in that region. Strangely enough, although numerous collections were reported by Seidenfaden (1982 & 1992) in Thailand and Indochina, details of habitat elevation were not given.
