Where it grows wild

It grows as an epiphyte on trees or as a lithophyte on rocks in rainforest and vine forest. Most Australian records come from the Iron Range area on the east coast of Cape York Peninsula; in Papua New Guinea it is recorded from Morobe, the Western Province and the Southern Highlands.

Recorded from 20 to 960 m, with a median of about 60 m (24 records), so it is mainly a lowland plant. The type was collected at about 400 m on the upper Nuru River in New Guinea.
