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 and Thailand. Originally found near Moulmein in the Tenasserim region of Burma, it occurs in a narrow band in the Tenasserim Range between 14N and 17N from Burma to as far as Tung Salaeng Luang, Thailand. It is said to be quite common in the Kanburi District in western Thailand, which is near the Burmese border northwest of Bangkok. Habitat elevations have not been given, but successful growers report that this orchid requires intermediate to warm conditions. Based on these growing recommendations, we used a habitat elevation that agreed with the grower's recommendations. The resulting climate table and cultural suggestions should be used cautiously until actual habitat elevations are known.
