Where it grows wild

Epiphytic climber in humid lowland to hill rainforest of north-eastern Papua New Guinea; the records span coastal forest at about 16 m and hill forest at about 945 m.

Climate sites at 16 m (Madang) and 945 m (Morobe); the species itself carries no elevation, so it may occur across this whole band.
