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.

ORIGIN/HABITAT: Very little is known about the original habitat. The type specimen was reportedly found in the Sikkim region of northeast India, “in the hills beyond Darjeeling.” No particulars are given. However, Darjeeling is located at about 7000 ft. (2130 m). On the other hand, B. wendlandianum is found in several locations at 660-4920 ft. (200-1500 m) through northwestern Thailand.
