A terrestrial jewel orchid from the hill forests of Thailand, also reported from India and Vietnam, with few records. Treat it like other mainland Southeast Asian Goodyera: a shaded leaf-litter orchid that wants a humid, warm wet season and a cooler, drier winter.

The climate sites are at about 760 m (Chiang Mai) and 820 m (western Thailand).
