Individual flowers last in bloom for about 4 to 5 days and others open successively. Habitat: Eastern Himalayas. Found growing in warm foothills along mud banks growing along with grasses which provide the plants with shade in summer. Also found in light wooded areas, along with grasses. Ehtnobotany: Not known.
