ORIGIN/HABITAT: Widespread from northeast India through Burma, Thailand, Cambodia, Laos, and Vietnam, then
southward through Malaya, Sumatra, and Borneo. In Thailand, plants have been reported from all regions, except in
the vicinity of Bangkok. Plants are usually found at relatively low elevations, but collections have been reported from
as high as 4250 ft. (1300 m). Plants generally grow as terrestrials in the shade of bushes and shrubs. They are normally
found in sandy, well-drained soil that contains an accumulation of organic debris. -- Source: Charles Baker |
