In Thailand, plants have been collected in the northern mountains in the vicinity of Chiengmai at 3600-5250 ft. (1100-1600 m). In Malaya, plants have been found at various locations at 500-3950 ft. (150-1200 m) and at locations in eastern and southeastern Thailand at 2600-3950 ft. (800-1200 m). In China, plants are found on trees in sparse woods or on cliffs along ravines at 1000-5250 ft. (300-1600 m) in southern Fujian, Taiwan, Guangdong, Hainan, Guangxi, and Yunnan. Plants have been found in many provinces in Sumatra at 1950-4900 ft. (600-1500 m), growing mostly low on tree trunks or on steep earth slopes. In the Philippines, this orchid has been found on Luzon in the provinces of Benguet, Mountain Province, and Nueva Vizcaya. Plants usually grow as a terrestrial, but it is also found in hollow logs on trees at 1000-5900 ft. (300-1800 m).
