It is native to the Himalayas (northwestern India, Nepal, Bhutan, Sikkim, Assam), and into the mountains of southwestern China (Tibet, Yunnan, Guangxi, and Sichuan), Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam, growing at altitudes of 1,200-3,000 metres. This species is used medicinally throughout the Sikkim Eastern Himalayas.
