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: Eastern Australia. The habitat extends from the Hunter
River in New South Wales to near the Tropic of Capricorn. Plants also
occur in Carnarvon Gorge, about 280 mi. (50 km) inland at 25.0S. Plants
often grow in areas with high humidity, strong air movement, and full sun
for much of the day, but they are also found in more shaded areas. Plants
are found in pockets of leaf-mold on rocks in open forests or on cliff
faces between sea level and 3950 ft. (0-1200 m). They are usually found on
rocks but occasionally may also grow on trees.
