A rarely recorded jewel orchid endemic to Fiji, known here from a single record on Taveuni. Grow it like other tropical Goodyera: a small terrestrial plant of the shady, humid forest floor that wants warmth, low light and steady moisture.

Where it grows wild

Generalised from tropical Goodyera, since no species-specific habitat notes were found: leaf litter and mossy soil on the floor of humid lowland to lower montane forest.

The single record is placed at about 400 m.
