Where it grows wild

Most labels give only localities: Mt Irig in Rizal, Peñablanca and the Abulug River in Cagayan, and Bataan. A Mindoro record from 1000 m mossy forest says 'on decaying tree' and 'epiphytic, rhizomatous with adventitious roots'.

Recorded from about 300 m to 1000 m. Few labels give an elevation.
