This species has been found only once in 1930 in Khao Phanom Bencha, a mountain of 1398 mt in Krabi province by Dr. A.G.F. Kerr, a botanist extensively travel and studying plants all along Thailand from 1902 to 1932. The record is extremely old and at the current state has to be considered dubious.

More recently has been recorded in Penang Hill (Penang-Malaysia) by Leon Siew Yuen, 5 January 2022.
