Where it grows wild

The type was an epiphytic vine climbing an old kamagong tree near a river in central Dinagat Island. The site lies in lowland forest close to the island's ultramafic mining area. Riverside trees give bright, broken light and constantly humid air.

It is known from about 100 m above sea level at the type locality. No other elevations are recorded.
