Where it grows wild

Recorded across western and north-western Madagascar, where the vegetation is mainly dry deciduous forest, scrub and limestone outcrops; it probably grows in the shade of deciduous trees, which is inferred from the genus and the sites.

100–900 m, median about 225 m: hot lowlands.
