This ground orchid has a wide geographical distribution. Spathoglottis plicata is found in India to peninsular Malaysia and Borneo, and ultimately reaches as far as the pacific islands. Its success is partly attributed to its ability to self pollinated. In other words, a single individual is able to reproduce a viable offspring, without the need of cross pollinating with plant of the opposite sex.
Spathoglottis Plicata is also a tough plant, capable of adapting in various type of habitat ranging from the edge of the rainforest to plantations and rocky shores. Like most orchids, the leaves have parallel veins, lanceolate in shape. When not in bloom such appearance make it look more like a palm rather than an orchid. However, its flowers give away its real identity quite easily, pinkish-purple in color, about 2.5 cm wide.
