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: Java. Plants are found near the southeast coast at 650-2300 ft. (200-700 m). They usually grow on cliffs of soft, crumbling limestone, where their roots extend into moss and leafy humus near a water seepage. Comber (1990) reported, "Formerly very common in the low hills south of G. Semeru in East Java at from 450-770 m, where it grew both in the soil and on rocks on steep hillsides. Unfortunately in the years 1965-1980 it was extensively collected for sale locally and abroad until it is now very difficult to find. Luckily there are still a few flowering plants on almost inaccessible cliffs in this area."
