Distribution
This plant is characterized by a very specific and limited geographical range. It is native to the region of China South-Central. Within this specific territory, its natural habitats are confined to localized environments. This restricted distribution suggests that the species may be sensitive to particular climatic conditions found in that area. Consequently, understanding its presence in South-Central China is vital for its botanical study.
