Aspidistra mokokchungensis

An Aspidistra described in 2022 from north-east India; its name points to Mokokchung in Nagaland. Very little is published on how it grows, so treat it like other Himalayan-foothill Aspidistra: shaded, humid in summer, cool and drier in winter.

Where it grows wild

Habitat details are not available to us. North-east Indian Aspidistra generally grow on shaded, humus-rich slopes in evergreen or semi-evergreen hill forest; this is generalised from the genus.

No elevation is recorded in our data; the Mokokchung hills of Nagaland lie at moderate elevation.
