Taiwanese shrub
« on: October 12, 2011, 06:05:46 PM »
Does anyone recongnize this shrub from c.w. Taiwanese seed?  Note the notched leaf tips.  It was received in a package of 2 shrubs, both were labelled Photinia but this one is clearly no Photinia.

Evergreen?
Is it right that the leaves sit opposit?
Maybee a evergreen Virburnum?

Yes Uli the leaves are opposite and the plant is about 75cm tall in 2 years from seed.   Stiffly upright and mostly evergreen.  On the shrub there are a very few atypical leaves as shown in pic #2.

It came with Photinia niitakayamensis so may have been collected in the same area and altitude. Pic #1.

John no idea  :'(
Never see a shrub with these leaves. Have look for a address in Taiwan, but can't find it.
Maybe someone has a address from Taiwan, where you can send the pictures.

you may wish to try and key out using the digital flora of Taiwan

http://tai2.ntu.edu.tw/ebook/ebookcontent.php?book=Fl.%20Taiwan%202nd%20edit.&volume=2

The flora also contains thousands of photographs as well as complete descriptions and illustrations.

It is a truly superb resource (but perhaps more handy in book format)

Yemen, what a country ... Haraz mountains, Socotra, Sana'a, Hadramaut, the empty quarter.... a country of stunning, mind altering beauty...and the friendliest of people.
