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: Plants are found on Langkawi Island, which is just off the
northwest coast of Malaya, with reports of early collections as far south
as Melaka. Distribution extends northward through peninsular Thailand, the
Tenasserim Range in Burma and Thailand, through northern Thailand and into
southwestern China. Habitat elevations in the southern parts of the range
have not been reported, but topographical maps indicate the highest point
on Langkawi Island is 2887 ft. (880 m). In peninsular Thailand, plants
reportedly are normally found growing on rocks in the hills close to the
sea. In China, plants are distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, and southern
Yunnan Provinces. They grow on trees or cliffs in forests at 800-4900 ft.
(250-1500 m) and are usually found in association with ants' nests. Grant
reported that in Burma the plants were abundant in the shady jungles
around Tavoy. In other regions, plants are found in full sun.
