Lithophytic or terrestrial herb growing on rocks in streams and on moist cliffs under primary and secondary evergreen broad-leaved submontane forest on sandstone at elevations of 1300-1400 m a.s.l.. The plants flower in February-March, and bear fruits in July-August. The species was observed as being very common on waterfall cliffs and in humid places; around 300-500 mature individuals occur in Muong La Nature Reserve, spread over a very limited area of approximately 2500 m2. In Muong La Nature Reserve, agricultural activities and exploitation for timber and non-timber forest products are prohibited. According to indigenous people, this species is not used as medicinal or ornamental plant, and disturbances to its existence so far have not been recorded. Numerous localities in the mountainous areas of the Hoang Lien Son range, spreading over the provinces of Lai Chau (Phong Tho, Tam Duong and Than Uyen districts) and Lao Cai (Bat Xat, Sa Pa and Van Ban districts) to Yen Bai (Tram Tau, Nghia Lo, Van Yen and Mu Cang Chai districts) and Son La (Muong La and Bac Yen districts), in north-western Vietnam and the south-western parts of Yunnan province in south-western China, fit the habitat characteristics of this new species. It is therefore expected that more populations of the species will be discovered soon if extensive field surveys are carried out in this region. At present, however,
