ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread from India through Southeast Asia into southern
China to as far north as Taiwan. Distribution extends through Malaya to
Indonesia to as far east as New Guinea. In China, plants have been found
in southern Yunnan Province growing as epiphytes and terrestrials at
1000-3300 ft. (300-1000 m). Plants are said to be rather common in Malaya
where they grow as epiphytes in the lowlands in all parts of the country.
On Borneo, plants have been from various types of habitats in Sabah,
Sarawak, and Kalimantan. They have been collected from numerous location
in Sarawak at 650-4250 ft. (200-1300 m). Comber (2001) reported
collections in North Sumatra at 3000 ft. (910 m). In Java, this epiphytic
orchid is common all over the island where it grows on tree trunks or
covers rocks in small dry valleys in both shady and open spots. Comber
(1990) reported the collection of a plant in East Java at 1700 ft. (520 m)
and stated that a single clone frequently will cover a large area.
