ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread. The habitat includes northern and eastern Thailand at 1000-5250 ft. (300-1600 m) and the Tenasserim and Moulmein regions of Burma. Plants are also found in Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam. In northern Malaya, plants are fairly common in rather exposed places near the sea. The orchid is relatively common in Sumatra, Borneo, Java, Sulawesi (Celebes), and many smaller Indonesian islands. In Borneo, plants are found in hill forests of Sabah, Sarawak, and Kalimantan at about 1950 ft. (600 m). In the Philippines, plants grow on Mindanao and Luzon islands from sea level to 750 ft. (0-230 m). Plants are common in forests with a pronounced dry season.
