Pot Size: 4 litre Price: £35.00 Description: From a collection I gathered on Doi Cheng Dao in Northern Thailand in 1999, where Holboellia has never been recorded before (nor in the rest of the country). Vigorous woody-stemmed evergreen, twining climber, with Schefflera-like leaves which are composed of up to five leathery maculated dark green glossy leaflets on short petiolules. Bearing in early spring separate male (pale green) & female (plump, dark pink green tinged) fragrant flowers atypically composed of 6-8 sepals. Requires a sheltered site out of cold winds. Previously offered as having an affinity to H. chapaensis, but now considered to be a subspecies of H. latifolia, after finding the true H. chapaensis in northern Vietnam. Closely related to and similar in habit to Stauntonia. Only recorded from a single plant in the wild.
