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: Philippines. These rather rare plants are found near the southern end of Luzon Island in Quezon Province. They grow on Mt. Banahao, a 7000 ft. (2130 m) volcano that last erupted seriously in 1730. Because habitat elevation was not reported, we have estimated it at 3300 ft. (1000 m). The resulting values based on this estimation should, therefore, be used with caution.
