Where it grows wild

Epiphytic climber in evergreen and semi-deciduous montane forest of the Nmai Hka valley region, on mossy trunks that dry out in the winter months; based on the site and the genus rather than a checked habitat note.

One record at about 1,430 m; probably 1,000 to 2,000 m in the northern Myanmar mountains.
