<div type="distribution"><p>Indochinese endemic, known only from the type locality.</p></div>

<div type="materials_examined"><p>VIETNAM (COCHINCHINA): north region of Dongnai R., Chiao-Xhan, undated, (pist.), Pierre 4829 (P, K [photo], FI-B).</p></div>

<div type="biology_ecology"><p>Unknown.</p></div>

<div type="discussion"><p>Gagnepain &amp; Conrard (1937) cited a second locality, "Long Tcheou" in Tonkin, which is now believed to lie in Guangxi, China. It was not possible to re- examine this specimen during the study but its identification should be carefully re- assessed since several other erect species have been described from South-east China since 1937 (Wei 1986). Vu Van Dung &amp; Le Huy Guang (1996) report the species at two new localities in South Annam but cite no specimens to support this.</p></div>

<div type="vernacular"><p>None recorded.</p></div>

<div type="uses"><p>None recorded.</p></div>

<div type="conservation"><p>Unknown, but likely to be poor. Habitat loss has probably been severe in this heavily populated part of Vietnam.</p></div>
