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: Andaman and Nicobar Islands and Sumatra in Indonesia. Plants are found on mangrove and other trees in very muddy swamps. Plants grow on trees at the extreme end of the creeks where the water is sweet. They are found hanging from branches a few feet above the water where humidity is always high. Grant (1895) reported that plants are never found growing under any other conditions.
