etaining some of their white flowers. Stauntonia aff. libera
KWJ12218 is the identity that the world authority of this family
has agreed with, although I am still a little hesitant as we have only
seen male flowers to date. S. aff. maculata FMWJ13055 is our field
identification for one of our new gatherings from deep within a
mountain forest in northern Vietnam. Where the 5-foliate leaves
draped a sizeable vine bearing large rough textured sausage-shaped
fruit. S. obovata CWJ12353 was a collection from the mountains in
the very north of Taiwan, a twining climber, which was scrambling
to 7-8m over small trees, with 5-7 leafleted pointed leathery leaves
pale maculated below.We cannot speculate as to the identity of S.
species nova from Vietnam FMWJ13177, although it may turn
out to be the same as KWJ12218. It certainly had some yellow in
the fruit, time will tell. Members of the tea family are virtually
guaranteed some ornamentation, Ternstroemia aff. chapaensis
WWJ11918 is our first attempt to evaluate what was in the wild a
small tightly congested shrub. Easily mistaken for a dwarf
Rhododendron in those conditions on high altitude exposed
ridges, looking more lax in our containers.At the other end of the
scale T. gymnanthera forms a small tree with dark green leathery
leaves held on red petioles. Should be a lovely foil for the white
flowers normally carried in July. Peter Wharton was with us when
we first found Tetradium aff. fraxinifolium WWJ11615, I can still
remember the excitement it caused, the wonderful pinnate foliage
and large red fruit held in loose panicles. Tripterygium aff. doianum
CWJ12852 is still too young to flower for us to confirm its identity
as this rare species. It would appear that the more common T. regelii
is sadly practically unknown in gardens in spite of being very hardy.
Trochodendron aralioides from Japan BSWJ6080 is mentioned
here as we are able to re-list it at long last. Viburnum formosanum
CWJ12460 was a distinct form where we found it growing
amongst dense vegetation in the northern forests of Taiwan. With
long arching gingery branches of bronzed lobed foliage. From a
much colder Lachen Valley in northern Sikkim V. mullaha
BSWJ2251a has a new identity, many thanks to Julian Shaw for all
his work with so many of our collections.
New cultivar names we are allocating
Primarily to conform with international nomenclature rules.
Cautleya gracilis 'Crûg Gold' BSWJ7186
Is a cultivar name that we are applying to a clone that we collected
from the forested area close to the summit of Doi Phohon-Pok. A
mountain within The Golden Triangle straddling the border
between Burma and Thailand. Forming clumps of vertical slender
green stems, to 80cm tall, with oblong-lanceolate leaves. Bearing
