The species was first discovered and named in 1979; it is endemic to southern China and has a very restricted distribution. Because of human disturbance and habitat fragmentation the abundance of T. magnifica has decreased dramatically in the past 30 years. It is estimated that there are no more than 2,000 individuals in the wild.
虎颜花在1979年被首次发现,是中国南方特有植物。在过去30年,由于人类活动,导致生境破碎,野生虎颜花数量急剧减少,一度只剩下大约2000株。
T. magnifica has large and membranous leaves and our results suggest that it grows only under the canopy of forests or plantations and near streams, and requires low temperatures, high humidity and low light.
大型膜质的叶片,令虎颜花适合在森林的树荫下、溪流附近生长,要求低温、高湿,以及弱光照。
