Dave, last year I planted Disporum megalanthum in the garden.
I think yours was under glass, so a lot earlier.
According to the leaves it is the same plant as I have.

Hi and thanks for the name and yes it's been grown in an outside cold frame.

Thanks

Hello,
 
 It is not megalanthum. It looks like stuff imported from Chen Yi. Disporum megalanthum should have lateral or pseudo-lateral (opposite a leaf at the terminus) flowering stems and white flowers. I cannot tell for sure, but your plant looks to have all terminal flowers. To me that plant looks like D.longistylum, BUT I would not put my money on it without close inspection. In the 2nd and 3rd pictures the stamens and pistil look longer than the tepals which would lead one to D.longistylum or hainanense, but it has small flowers. If it has stamens and pistils equal to or shorter, then it goes to bodinieri, which is what most Chen Yi material has turned out to be in my case.

 The first a line drawing with D. longistylum, the 2nd a key to Chinese (including Taiwan) Disporum, and the last showing a picture of D. megalanthum.
