Its native distribution includes Burma and Thailand and is only known from the type specimen from the southern peninsula of Burma and from a collection on the adjacent peninsula in Thailand. U. corynephora grows as a lithophyte on wet granite rock faces at altitudes from 180 m (591 ft) to 750 m (2,461 ft). It was originally described by Peter Taylor in 1986.[1]
