Where it grows wild

Anoectochilus species grow terrestrially in leaf litter and moss on the floor of humid evergreen forest, often near streams. Habitat here is inferred from the genus.

No wild records; the climate site is a regional centroid in central Vietnam at about 120 m, which may not match the real habitat.
