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: India, Burma, Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, and Vietnam. This orchid has two very distinct varieties, however, with the type variety being an upland form found in northeast India. The second variety is from lower elevations in the eastern part of the range. In India, the type variety is widespread in the tropical forests of the eastern Himalayan ranges at about 2300 ft. (700 m). It is also found on the outer range of the western Himalaya, in Sikkim, Bhutan, the Khasia Hills, Assam, the Orissa district, Chota Nagpur, North Bengal, Vizagapatam, and the Rumpa Hills. Plants grow in east, west, and central Nepal at 1000-3500 ft. (300-1065 m). Christenson (1993), indicated that plants found in the eastern part of the range are actually Aerides multiflora var. godefroyana (Rchb. f.) Veitch and grow at lower elevations across Thailand and Southeast Asia. Plants are found in the Andaman Islands, near Mergui and Moulmein in Burma, on the Vientiane Plain in Laos, near Camchay and Moulou Prey in Cambodia, and at several locations throughout Vietnam.
