A northern Vietnamese Aspidistra recorded in Quang Ninh and once further west near Hoa Binh, in lowland to submontane evergreen forest. A shade-loving rhizomatous herb that wants warm, humid summers, a mild, dry winter and a free-draining humus mix.

Where it grows wild

Recorded from forested hills of northern Vietnam; growing conditions are inferred from the measured climate and the genus, which lives on shaded forest floors in leaf litter, often among rocks.

Climate sites are at about 320 m and 980 m; few records carry an elevation.
