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: Southeast Australia and New Caledonia. In Australia, this orchid is found in southeast Queensland, New South Wales, Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania where it is a very widespread species commonly found in open forests, especially along streams. It tends to produce dense colonies and flowring reportedly is generally profuse. Habitat elevation was not reported. On New Caledonia, however, these plants, which are found near the northeast coast and in the central mountains along the southern half of the island, have been reported as growing at 1300-4600 ft. (400-1400 m).
