(Daphniphyllaceae)
Daphniphyllum aff. longeracemosum  BSWJ11788

Description

Form seed we gathered in 2006, from a small well branched tree to only 4m tall growing in the very north of Vietnam close to the Chinese border at close to 2000m. With small stout branches of large oblong to elliptic leaves almost white below, to 30 cm long on reddish petioles bearing an abundance of ellipsoidal black glossy fruit in long racemes. All somewhat smaller than we normally find in this species. Best grown in full sun with light overhead shade to protect from late frosts, in any type of fertile drained soil, sheltered from cold winds.
