Where it grows wild

Presumed epiphytic climber in lowland rainforest of the Kapuas basin in West Kalimantan, an area of riverine and peat-swamp forest; inferred from the name and the genus rather than a checked habitat note.

No recorded elevation; the Kapuas lowlands are mostly below 300 m, though the placeholder site is at 432 m.
