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: Western Borneo. Plants were originally found in Sarawak where they were relatively common. They are now rare in their historic habitats; but in recent years, populations have been found in Kalimantan and at several locations in Sabah. Plants grow in the hot, moist lowlands, and collections have been reported from the lower slopes of Mt. Kinabalu on the Kota Belud side of the mountain.
