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: Eastern Australia. The habitat extends from the Hunter River in New South Wales to near the Tropic of Capricorn. Plants also occur in Carnarvon Gorge, about 280 mi. (50 km) inland at 25.0S. Plants often grow in areas with high humidity, strong air movement, and full sun for much of the day, but they are also found in more shaded areas. Plants are found in pockets of leaf-mold on rocks in open forests or on cliff faces between sea level and 3950 ft. (0-1200 m). They are usually found on rocks but occasionally may also grow on trees.
