ORIGIN/HABITAT: Vietnam. This orchid was first collected at Trung Phan in central Vietnam and described by Rolfe in 1905. Precise details of habitat type, location, and elevation remained unknown, however, until a recent article by Averyanov and Christenson in the July 1998 issue of Orchids . They reported that Cymbidium schroederi is found in the Kontum area near the western border with Laos and Cambodia (Kampuchea) in central Vietnam or the northern part of southern Vietnam. The habitat occurs in sunny, rather wet areas with high humidity and frequent mist. Plants grow as humus epiphytes on the western slopes of the Ngoc Linh Mountains at 4450-5600 ft. (1350-1700 m). Plants are always found in large pockets of mossy humus where accumulated vegetative debris is at least 4 in. (10 cm) deep on top of the tree's bark. Plants are rarely found more than 10-13 ft. (3-4 m) above the ground, and the largest, most luxurious plants seem to grow 3-6 ft. (1-2 m) above the ground in the forks of large tree branches.
