Where it grows wild

Very little is published on this species' habitat. Based on what is known for the genus, it probably grows as a clump-forming herb on the floor of evergreen lowland forest, quite possibly on limestone like many Vietnamese Aspidistra.

The only record sits at about 150 m; its full elevation range is unknown.
