Streptopus???

[alpines]

Sherba and I had the pleasure of visiting with the delightful Ev Whittemore over the weekend and were gifted this unknown plant. It has the characteristics of Twisted Leaf (Streptopus) but doesn't appear to key out as either amplexicaulis or lanceolatus.
I feel I should know this plant but its name eludes me.
Would appreciate the help of Forum members. Thanks.

An interesting one, Alan ..... I'd like to hear from Aaron Floden on this one.....

That's a Disporopis, I'm guessing D. pernyi, but wait for Aaron to confirm.

Disporopsis pernyi.... that's a Chinese species, isn't it?

Disporopsis pernyi looks spot on to me. Many thanks for the ID.
Ironically...I was going to write to Aaron because it looks for all the world as though it should be a North American woodlander.
Anyone any ideas on cultivation of this plant?

Stick it in the ground and away it goes...

A friend gave me a little piece a couple of years ago and it is romping away with no attention at all.  The bed it is in was totally neglected last year but it doesn't seem to mind a bit of competition from nettles and grass!

Gosh Gail....and I was hoping it would be easy !!!!!javascript:void(0);

 I've been busy the last few days getting my "new" travel car! Yes, definitely Disporopsis pernyi. It, and the others native to mainland China (excluding longifolia), are all evergreen in my Z7 garden in Knoxville. The fragrance of all of them are somewhat nutmeg to eggnog like. Some grow quicker than others, but they rarely make seed. In 8 years I've only had 3-4 seeds produced.
