    Nursery contributed plant descriptions

    An evergreen Lily-of-the-Valley relative, this is our collection from Yunnan, China from our 1997 trip where it was growing in hard clay at the edge of a forest overlooking a high cold plain at 10.000'. This is distinctly different than the Reineckia carnea of Japan as well as other collections from China yet DNA by Aaron Floden puts it right in the species. Scented pink flowers at the base of the leaves.
