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: Originally discovered on Bioko (Fernando Po) Island in West Africa, this extremely variable orchid is now thought to be a monotypic genus that is widespread throughout tropical Africa. Collections have been reported in northern Angola, Nigeria, Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Zambia, Malawi, northern Botswana, Namibia (South West Africa), Sudan, and South Africa. In South Africa, plants are found in Natal, Swaziland, and the Transvaal, with occurrences reported as far south as Durban. Although found in a variety of habitats, plants most often grow in open woodland in hot, dry areas below 2300 ft. (700 m). Plants are found in thicker forest and wetter woodland, however, and collections are reported from as high as 7200 ft. (2200 m). Plants usually grow wedged into the forks of large trees or attached to their trunks and branches, but they occasionally grow attached to rocks or the surface of the ground.
