Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber of lowland to hill forest around Nabawan, which includes kerangas heath forest on poor sandy soils where canopies are lower and light is brighter than in tall dipterocarp forest. Inferred from the type region and the genus.

Nabawan district sits at roughly 300 to 600 m; the climate site at about 430 m is in the interior of Borneo and matches that elevation.
