Helwingia chinensis

I went into detail on the epiphyllous flowers of Helwingia in the entry on Helwingia japonica, so I won't repeat myself here. This is another male plant, so like the Helwingia japonica, no chance of seeing the fruit which is also (of course) borne on the leaves. Wild collected in the Sichuan province of China by Dan Hinkley.

I just bought one of these from Forest Farm Nursery in Williams, Oregon.

I intend to underplant it with Ruscus hypoglossum.
