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: New Guinea, Bougainville, the Solomon Islands, and
Vanuatu. Plants grow on trees in swampy lowland forests, lower mountain
forests, or in planted coconut or Casuarina trees from sea level to 3600
ft. (0-1100 m). On ridge tops, they grow on the surface of the ground in
thick moss and peat. The plants survive exposure to high light and hot
temperatures at lower elevations, but they are more abundant in cool,
shady locations at higher elevations.
