It is native to Thailand within Indo-China.[2]
The genus name of Marcania is in honour of Alexander Marcan (1883–1953), an English collector of plants in south-east Asia and Thailand.[3] The Latin specific epithet of grandiflora refers 2 two words, 'grandi' meaning large and 'flora' meaning flower.[4] Both the genus and species were first described and published in Bull.
