Where it grows wild

Specimens are from Castanopsis-dominated ridge and hillside forest in New Britain (1415 m), and from mossy, low primary forest on limestone and serpentine soils in Sulawesi. Other localities are in Seram and the Star Mountains of New Guinea.

Few records carry an elevation (one at 1415 m); the climate sites range from 981 to 2474 m.
