The following information is based on the name of the plant provided by the donor, and assumes that the name is correct. If the plant has been misidentified, then the following information may not be correct.
This text is copyrighted by the Bakers and may not be reproduced without permission.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Endemic to Madagascar, it grows in shady, humid forests at 2624-5576 ft. (800-1700 m), which normally implies adaptability. The plant is found in only 2 locations on the island, at the warmer, northern location it grows at higher elevations, and at the cooler, southern end it is found at lower elevations . The climate information given here represents the southern location and the records are adjusted to the median elevation for that location.
