ORIGIN/HABITAT: Sri Lanka (Ceylon), India, Taiwan, the Ryukyu Islands, and Vietnam. In Sri Lanka, this orchid is said to be rather common, growing on trees in the tropical wet evergreen forests at 3000-4500 ft. (915-1370 m). Plants are reported to be common throughout Taiwan where they grow in forests at 1650-3300 ft. (500-1000 m). In Vietnam, this creeping, lithophytic, or occasionally epiphytic, orchid is found in Cao Bang Province at several locations near Thang Heng Lake. It is common and locally abundant, especially along ridge tops. Plants grow on limestone outcrops and cliffs in primary, broad-leaved, evergreen and mixed forests at 1800-2950 ft. (550-900 m).
