It grows naturally in southeastern Asia (Burma, Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand) and northern Australia. U. involvens grows as a terrestrial plant in wet grasslands or open vegetation, usually at low altitudes but ascending to 900 m (2,953 ft) in Malaysia. It was originally described and published by Henry Nicholas Ridley in 1895.[1]
