Nursery contributed plant descriptions

These are from a 2010 collection in Guangxi and from an area virtually unexplored by western botanists or any other westerners for that matter. These were growing in the shade of mixed shrubs. Light pink airy panicles of flowers to 30" or more and have been a good performer here at the nursery.
