Where it grows wild

Records come from forest around San Antonio (Laguna), Tagkawayan (Quezon), Leyte and Palawan, with several old cultivated specimens from Manila. It is an epiphyte in humid forest; detailed habitat notes are lacking.

Most localities are lowland; one Vietnamese record gives 900 m.
