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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: New Guinea. This orchid was discovered in Dutch New Guinea
(now Irian Jaya) in 1914 on the north coast near Mamberamo. Habitat
elevation was not reported, but this is a low-lying coastal plain, so the
habitat was probably not very high. More recently, plants have been found
in Papua New Guinea where they are rather common is a small area in the
Central Province and grow on the lower trunks of large trees in
semideciduous forest and drier rainforest margins from about 500 (160 m)
up to 1650 ft. (500 m). Siegerist (2001) reported that this orchid is also
found in Borneo, but we have been unable to find any reference to the
habitat location or elevation in that region.
