Description: A medium sized deciduous aromatic shrub that is drought tolerant as well as decorative in foliage. From seed we collected on the Fansipu trail a Valley deep in the Hoang Lien Mountains of northern Vietnam in the autumn of 2011. Where it had attained just over 3m with several sturdy spiny branches, bearing corky stems with red-black capsules, splitting to reveal the glossy black seed within, adhered close to the surface in irregular long gregarious patches. The young aromatic pinnate foliage is enhanced with red venation and needle-like red spines along the mid-ribs. Best grown in a well drained soil in sun or part shade.
