Nursery contributed plant descriptions

Bringing the rare stuff out! This is a very newly described species from the Cangshan in Yunnan and collected by those intrepid folks at Crug Farm in Wales. This one requires room as it is stoloniferous which to our knowledge, is unique in the genus. If you want a tidy clump, we have a lots of other options but if you have space to fill and want something no one else has then feel free to do as we did and pick one up!
