Where it grows wild

The reliable records come from the mossy montane forest of Kinabalu and the Crocker Range, where Dendrochilum grow as epiphytes on mossy branches. Species-specific habitat notes were not checked; this is inferred from those sites and the genus.

Useful sites are at about 1600 m and higher on Kinabalu; the lowland sites in the data are almost certainly poorly georeferenced records.
