Plants are also reported at the other end of the Philippines in Mountain Province on Luzon Island and the small island of Camiguin, off the north coast of Luzon. Plants usually grow epiphytically at the bases of shrubs where they are found in tussocks of moss as well as in leaf-mold and forest debris on wooded slopes.
