The origin/habitat information below is supplied courtesy of Charles and Margaret Baker

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: Southern slopes of the Himalayas in Eastern Nepal, Darjiling (Darjeeling), Sikkim, and Bhutan. They are also found in northeastern India in the Meghalaya district and in Assam north of the Bramaputra River. P. venustum usually grows at 1000-4450 ft. (300-1350 m). Plants normally grow in humus in dense jungle undergrowth at the base of cliffs, or in dense bamboo thickets. However, they are occasionally found in tree crotches with their roots in composted leaf litter.
