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: Burma (now Myanmar). Paphiopedilum charlesworthii has been
collected in the Shan states near the border with Thailand and China.
Moore, the original collector, reported finding plants 25 miles (40 km)
southwest and 40 miles (64 km) northeast of Lake Inle. Plants were growing
on high, steep, isolated peaks, usually on west or northwest facing slopes
at 3940-5250 ft. (1200-1600 m). Plants were usually found growing in shade
with their roots clinging tenaciously to the rocks, but some were also
found growing in more exposed locations in crevices of bare rock.
