Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber of lowland to foothill rainforest in northern New Guinea, on trunks and branches in filtered light. Nothing species-specific on its ecology was reachable; this is inferred from the type region and the genus.

No wild records carry an elevation; the climate site sits at about 170 m in the southern lowlands of Papua New Guinea, chosen from the region rather than a collection.
