In the northwest Himalayas, plants are found from Kumaun to Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya at 1650-2150 ft. (500-650 m). In Sikkim, plants have been collected in the lower tropical zones at about 1650-1950 ft. (500-600 m). In Thailand, plants have been found at numerous locations in the northern mountains at 3150-4350 ft. (960-1320 m). In Laos, plants have been found near Xieng Khouang; and in Vietnam, collections have been made in the mountains near Dalat. In southwest China, collections have been made in tropical areas from southwest Guangxi Province near Lin-yun to southern Yunnan Province near Me-jiang. Comber (1982) reported that in Sumatra plants are found in the northern mountains at 3600-4250 ft. (1100-1300 m). They grow in open-branched, isolated trees in very bright light and have a root system which grows only on bare branches where no humus collects.
