ORIGIN/HABITAT: Malawi. This orchid is found throughout Malawi. They usually grow at elevations of 3300-5750 ft. (1000-1750 m), but plants are occasionally are found as low as 2150 ft. (650 m). Plants grow as epiphytes on tree trunks and small branches, usually not far above the ground, in moderate shade. La Croix (1997) reported that in the wild plants have been found growing in forest under conditions so dark that a light meter did not register. Plants also grow and flower well in rather bright light, but under these conditions the leaves become rather yellow.
