Description

Apparently rheophytic - the only habitat record in Hotta (loc. cit.) is from Hirano & Hotta 1012 (KYO), saying ‘on wet riverside rock’. A later collection (Burtt  & Martin 4922) notes ‘rocks in river’. Brooke 8954 notes ‘on bank of river under trees’. Altitudinal data are wanting, but the original collections are from areas of low elevation.
