Where it grows wild

Not documented beyond the description; Goodyera of the region creep through leaf litter and moss on the floor of evergreen broadleaf forest, often on shaded slopes and along streams.

No elevation records; the placeholder site is at 72 m, probably lower than its true habitat (the name suggests a mountain, nan shan).
