South Korea, with larger foliage and inflorescences. While H.
anomala ssp. petiolaris v. ovalifolia BSWJ8799 is the variety from
Cheju-Dõ, South Korea. Please see our description at the end
section of this plant list for more detail of H. chinensis 'Golden
Crane' DJHC0499. Our stocks originating from cuttings I
pinched from Dan Hinkley’s garden when he was away. At least it
goaded him into doing something with it.The following three H.
heteromalla are re-entries, available as open ground plants only,
namely 'Morrey's Form', f. xanthoneura ‘Wilsonii’ & 'Yalung
Ridge'. Also from cultivation this time from Japan are two cultivars
of H. involucrata. ‘Plenissima’ bears corymbs of pale purple-pink
centred sterile double flowers. While H. ‘Yoraku’ has pale pink
fertile flowers surrounded by double creamy coloured sterile florets
in a looser corymb. H. serrata 'Crûg Sõ Cool' BSWJ6241b is
another one of our seedlings from Mt. Unzen area of Kyushu, Japan
in 1998. This small cultivar forming flat topped cymes of blue
flowers in acidic soils. Named formally at the end section of this
plant list. I am sadly unable to trace the origins of the clone of H.
stylosa that we are introducing this year. We were given it many
years ago as one of Beer & Lancaster's collections, but Roy has no
record of such a find. All the same it is high time that this
Himalayan equivalent of H. macrophylla was introduced, it certainly
has the flowering power to make it popular. Flowering power
certainly describes Indigofera howellii regarded by those that study
these things, to be the most floriferous species, bearing pink spikes
of pea flowers from April to October. Many thanks to Louisa
Arbuthnott for making my acquaintance. Jamesia americana is a
rarity in cultivation.We grow a plant of it near our house where it
flowers quietly every year, with cymes of white Deutzia-like
flowers. It is reputedly difficult to propagate, ours are the result of
seed sowing.The fruit of Kadsura heteroclita FMWJ13385 have to
be seen to be believed. Forming twinning woody-stemmed
climbers with thick dark green glossy foliage and white to yellow
flowers. The female flowers transforming to an aggregate of
symmetrical elongated reddish berries, forming a globe like
structure that is certainly larger than a cricket ball. All quite
palatable too. Lindera angustifolia FMWJ13156 was a fortunate
find, growing in a small colony of small trees. The foliage was
lanceolate, thin textured only 10 ? 1.5cm, while the small black fruit
were carried in axillary orbicular clusters. L. metcalfiana v.
dictyophylla KWJ12312 was an earlier find, again with narrow
foliage and small black glossy fruit all along the branches where the
fragrant yellow flowers had made their display March- May. L.
tonkinensis FMWJ13123 is far easier to distinguish, normally
forming small to medium evergreen trees.With parchment textured
ovate leaves distinctly 3-veined, these covered in gingery hair
below.Winter flowering in the wild, but normally early spring for
us, when the branches can be smothered in clusters of the small
yellow flowers. In the same family Litsea cubeba FMWJ13011 is a
