ORIGIN/HABITAT: China and Vietnam. A rather common creeping epiphytic or lithophytic herb found in the Cao Bang District in northern Vietnam. Plants grow in mossy, primary and secondary, evergreen and semideciduous, broad-leaved, mixed, and coniferous forests which are growing on weathered limestone at 1650-2300 ft. (500-700 m). Plants are reported to be locally abundant, especially along ridge tops. In China, plants are found in the provinces of Fujian, Guangdong, Guangxi, and southern Yunnan where they grow on tree trunks in mountain forests at elevations up to 4250 ft. (1300 m).
