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: Vietnam. Plants were originally found in an unspecified location in Tonkin, a region covering most of what is now northern Vietnam. Populations of this species have been recently discovered in the mountains of southern Vietnam in the region from near Dalat to west of Nha Trang. These plants grow mostly on the eastern and southeastern slopes at 3600-3950 ft. (1100-1200 m), but collections have been made as low as 2600 ft. (800 m) and as high as 4900 ft. (1500 m). Visitors to the habitat report that the plants grow on eastern-facing slopes under climatic conditions that are closer to those found along the coast than those in the interior mountain region around Dalat. These plants grow in acid soils that have developed from acidic granite substrate and are normally found in rock hollows or on small shelves on steep granite slopes with a southern exposure. They are sometimes found in crevices of nearly vertical granite cliffs, however, where short moss and accumulations of leaf litter are sometimes present.
