Habitat and phenology:—Primary and secondary evergreen broad-leaved, mixed and coniferous forests (with Xanthocyparis vietnamensis, Nageia fleuryi, Pseudotsuga sinensis , Calocedrus rupestris ) on rocky solid highly eroded karstic limestone at elevations 1100–1300 m a.s.l. Lithophytic herb on mossy rocks on rocky steep slopes, often in shady and humid places. Flowering in October–December.
Distribution:—Northern Vietnam (Ha Giang province, Bac Me & Quan Ba districts). Local endemic to northern Vietnam.
Notes:—The original description of Tupistra patula was based on specimens with rather aged inflorescences. The perigone was reported as dull yellow ( Averyanov et al. 2016a). In December 2016, we collected plants of this species again at several localities in Ha Giang province, northern Vietnam. Some of the plants had a small number of floral buds on the distal part of their inflorescence rachis. The buds were white proximally, dull greenish purple distally. The perigones of young fully open flowers were, internally, white proximally and pale green distally including segments, externally white slightly tinged with purple proximally, dull greenish purple distally. Anther-sacs and pollen were yellow. Somewhat faded flowers passing their peak had dull whitish beige perigones (externally slightly tinged with purple). With fading the perigones turn to be darker, and eventually become blackish ( Fig. 6 View FIGURE 6 ; Averyanov et al. 2016a). The styles and stigmas were more or less whitish at the early and middle stages of flowering, but later, through beige stages, turn to be darker, as in perigones. The flowering stems were more or less erect and straight, hence the sigmoid, outspreading floriferous stem reported earlier ( Averyanov et al. 2016a) appears not to be a stable characteristic of this species. All collections hitherto made indicate that the distribution range of this species is confined to Ha Giang province, northeastern Vietnam.
