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: China and Vietnam. This orchid was discovered in Yunnan
Province, but details of habitat location and elevation were not reported.
Plants have since been found in northern Vietnam where collections were
made near Cao Bang at 1000-3600 ft. (300-1100 m) and near Ha Giang at
4900-5250 ft. (1500-1600 m). Near Cao Bang, these plants were growing as
epiphytes in shady, humid areas in evergreen, broad-leaved, and mixed
primary forests found on rocky, marblelike, weathered limestone as well as
in forest remnants along streams in alluvial valleys among limestone
ridges.
