Where it grows wild

Recorded at many scattered sites in southern China, from lowland Hainan to hill forests in Guangxi, Guangdong, Hunan and Chongqing. Like its relatives it grows in shaded forest, often among rocks and on slopes; the microhabitat is generalised from the genus.

Climate sites range from about 75 m on Hainan to about 1,140 m in Guangxi.
