Pot Size: 5 litre Price: £60.00 Description: A rather different species to any others that we have encountered so far, that I collected with the late Peter Wharton in 2007 from the high mountain forest surrounding Fanxipan, in northern most Vietnam. At around 2,000m where this very slender stemmed species used a young tree for support while twinning itself around the narrow trunk to 4m tall. Bearing leaves composed of long slender leaflets on slender petioles, the stem terminating in an infructescence of large orbicular umbels on long peduncles, luckily to where I could collect them. Best grown in a fertile drained soil that does not dry out, in relative shelter from cold winds and severe frosts, in sun or shade. Container grown plants do not display the twining habit.
