Remusatia vivipara is widespread from west Africa through Asia and to Australia. Plants inhabit tropical forests just outside or on the periphery of the equatorial zone. Plants have been found at higher elevation within equatorial areas. This species can be an epiphyte on large Ficus vasta or it is a terrestrial and lithophyte. The wide distribution is due to the bulbils from the plant attach to birds who then disperse the species. The ramicauls measure up to 11 cm. Plants attain heights of 50 cm, the leaves are solitary and up to 40 cm long and 30 cm wide. Plants flower rarely and are green and white. Tubers are used for cooking in India and Oman.
