with the Himalayas. In India, it occurs from Uttarakhand in the west to Arunachal Pradesh in the east. The range continues southeast to northern Myanmar and Vietnam, and northeast to southeastern Tibet, northwestern Yunnan and southwestern Sichuan. In Vietnam it is only found at altitudes above on Hoang Lien Son Mountain. In that country it is usually mixed with Rhododendron spp. and Abies pindrow, though it can sometimes form a pure stand. It is adapted to areas with a cold climate and high rainfall and high humidity.
