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: Widely distributed from northeast India, across southeast Asia, northward into southwest China, and southward through Malaya into Indonesia. In China, this orchid is found in damp locations in forests at 3100-3300 ft. (950-1000 m) in the Provinces of Yunnan, Guangxi, Guangdong, and Hainan. Plants have been reported from many mountainous areas in Vietnam from Cha Pa in the north to Dalat in the south, but the only habitat elevation given was 3950 ft. (1200 m). We have been unable to find details of habitat location and elevation in other areas.
