In South Korea, where it is known as Chrysosplenium barbatum, [4] Chrysosplenium pilosum var. barbatum is said by Plants of the World online to be found only on Jeju Island. [10] However, the South Korean authority [4] states that it is found throughout Korea (and this is shown also in GBIF). [11]
The variety aureobracteatum (yellowish-bract golden saxifrage) [12] was first described in 2015 as the species Chrysosplenium aureabracteatum by Kim Yong-in and Kim Young-Dong, [13] and was transferred to a variety of C. pilosum in 2017 by Kim Muyeol. [5] [14] This variety is found only in Korea. [5]
It is found in far-east Russia, Mongolia, Manchuria, Korea, Japan and China, [2] [15] growing in shaded and moist areas of the forest understorey, and in rock crevices, at altitudes of 1500 to 3500 m. [15]
