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: Nepal, Sikkim, Bhutan, Assam in northeastern India, Burma,
northern Thailand, Vietnam, and China. In the Himalayan region of Nepal,
Sikkim, Darjiling, and the Khasia Hills, these plants are found at
4900-6550 ft. (1500-2000 m). In Thailand, plants are found in the
northern mountains at 3950-4600 ft. (1200-1400 m). Seidenfaden (1980)
reported that near Loei in northern Thailand, these plants are very
abundant beside streams where they sometimes cover the forest floor in
dense masses. In Vietnam, collections have been reported near Dalat in the
south, at 5250-5900 ft. (1600-1800 m) near Chapa in the north, and at
2300-4900 ft. (700-1500 m) near Cao Bang in the northeast. The plants near
Cao Bang were growing as epiphytes and lithophytes in open, dry, primary
and secondary forests of broad-leaved, mixed, and coniferous trees.
