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: Found across southern China from near the border with extreme northern Burma eastward to Taiwan through the provinces of Guangdong, Guizhou, Xizang, Zhejiang, and Yunnan. Wu and Chin (80), in their description of the habitat for C. floribundum, also include the provinces of Fujian, Gunagxi, Hubei, and Jiangxi. Plants normally grow on rocks in shady mountain gorges or pine forests, at elevations of 4920-9190 ft. (1500-2800 m). C. floribundum also grows epiphytically at elevations as low as 2620 ft. (800 m) on Taiwan. Plants are highly tolerant of dry conditions, and often form large clumps in open, well drained situations, such as on cliff faces.
