Aspidistra mirostigma

A rarely recorded Vietnamese Aspidistra, named for its unusual stigma and known mainly from its description. Treat it like other tropical Aspidistra: a slow, shade-loving forest-floor herb that flowers at ground level and wants warmth and even moisture.

Where it grows wild

No wild records with coordinates are available; Vietnamese Aspidistra mostly grow in deep shade on humus-rich, often limestone-derived soils in evergreen forest. Conditions here are generalised from the genus.

No elevation is recorded; the climate point used is a lowland site in central Vietnam at about 120 m and only stands in for the country.
