Very common on the ground under jungle, from 10,000 to 12,000 feet (Haviland, 1157). 
'This plant is very remarkable on account of the curious saccate lip, something in the 
shape of a coal-scuttle. The front edges at the entrance to the sac are thickened, and 
just within them is on each side another thickened low ridge; the thickened edges are 
continued into a short thick beak, which is all that represents the mid-lobe.
