(Hamamelidaceae)

Uocodendron whartonii - FMWJ13365

Pot Size: 15 litre
Price: £85.00
Description:
A newly described genus discovered by Bleddyn and Sue on a remote hillside forest in the very north of Vietnam on the Chinese border in 2006. Where it was re-generating after being cut back to accommodate a crop of black cardamom, although sizeable trees were also found on our subsequent expedition in 2007. It was obviously a member of the Hamamelidaceae family, by its pink-red flowers consisting of narrow ribbon-like petals, carried in late spring for us so far. Found growing in moist well drained soil in good light. Foliage parchment-like heart-shaped semi-evergreen in our climate emerging a strong purple in colour, slowly fading to a pale green. A 2011 collection accompanied by Aaron Floden and Tom Mitchell. Syn Disanthus ovatifolius
