Distribution:— According to Govaerts et al. (2016), Cyrtorchis injoloensis occurs in four countries ( Gabon, Democratic Republic of the Congo, Uganda and Tanzania), although we have not seen any material from Uganda. Cyrtorchis injoloensis is thus widely distributed in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Habitat and ecology:— Primary forest and forest remnants, ranging between 30 and 1,189 m elevation. Flowering peaks in July and September.
