Comments: Parent plant: Medium-sized plant.

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: Widespread from Africa, Madagascar, Sri Lanka (Ceylon),
India, China, Taiwan, southern Japan, the Ryukyu Islands, through most of
Southeast Asia, and into Borneo, Sumatra, and Java. In Sri Lanka, plants
are rather common under the shade of trees in tropical, wet, evergreen
forests at elevations up to 6000 ft. (1830 m). In India, this orchid has
been reported in Deccan, Mysore, N. Kanara, Western Ghats, Nepal, and
Sikkim. Plants in Bhuan, Darjeeling, and Sikkim have been reported as
growing in hot valleys and beside streams at 1100-6550 ft. (330 -2000 m).
In Thailand, collections have been reported in the northern mountains at
1300-4900 ft. (400-1500 m) and in peninsular Thailand at 1300 ft. (400 m).
In China, plants are found in moist, shady places in mountain forests or
along ravines at 2600-6550 ft. (800-2000 m) in the provinces of Hunan,
Guangdong, Guangxi, southern Yunnan, and southeast Xizang. Plants have
been reported from throughout Taiwan where they grow at 3300-6550 ft.
(1000-2000 m). In Borneo, plants are found in deep shade in Kalimantan,
Sabah, and Sarawak at 1300-5900 ft. (400-1800 m). In Sumatra plants have
been collected from various locations in the western part of the island at
1300-5250 ft. (400-1600 m). Plants have been found all over Java, but are
most common in eastern Java where they grow on the more humid,
south-facing slopes of the larger mountains at 1300-5250 ft. (400-1600 m).
