The geographical distribution data of C. henryi were obtained from field investigations, local flora, and database platforms. The databases include the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF, www.gbif.org), National Specimen Information Infrastructure (NSII, http: //www.nsii.org.cn/), and Chinese Virtual Herbarium (CVH, http: //www.cvh .ac.cn/). Some data were collected from CNKI (China National Knowledge Infrastructure) and Scopus. A total of 1551 initial records were obtained. They were screened to ascertain whether they were natural or cultivated and to remove the repeated, incomplete and inaccurate records.  Finally, 212 high-quality and reliable records were kept. The records' geographical coordinates were acquired from Google Earth and saved in .csv format.
