Where it grows wild

Mountain forest in the Mangshan range. By analogy with U. peranomala, it probably grows as a small terrestrial or lithophytic plant on wet mossy rocks or banks, but this is not confirmed in the sources reached.

No elevations are recorded. The Mangshan range rises to nearly 1,900 m, and the plant is likely above the lowland grid site.
