Where it grows wild

Presumed an epiphytic climber of lowland to hill rainforest in the Philippines, in filtered light on trunks and branches. Inferred from the genus and region; the type locality is not given in the reachable sources.

No wild records exist; the climate site is a lowland point at about 9 m chosen from the country outline, so a hill locality would run several degrees cooler.
