ORIGIN/HABITAT: Eastern Australia. The habitat extends from near Kiama in southern New South Wales to the just north of Cairns near the Bloomfield River in Queensland. The habitat varies considerably. Plants usually grow on trees in shady rainforests, but they are occasionally found on rocks or in coastal scrub and open forest, frequently in very sunny situations. In the northern part of the habitat, plants are found only in the mountains and on tablelands.
