ORIGIN/HABITAT: Burma and Thailand. Plants are found in the Shan Plateau region of Burma at 4100-4500 ft. (1250-1370 m), and in the mountains of western and northern Thailand. Paphiopedilum parishii usually grows on east-facing slopes in shaded, low light conditions. It grows epiphytically on the middle or lower branches of trees between 5-15 ft. (3-5 m) above the ground, but it also grows in thick mosses on boulders or fern roots.
