Where it grows wild

Recorded in lowland to low-hill evergreen forest, mostly on Hainan. Like its relatives it forms clumps on shaded, humus-rich forest floors; habitat detail is inferred from the genus.

Climate sites are all below about 100 m, but grid cells are coarse and records rarely give an elevation.
