Family:  Daphniphyllaceae
Author:  Miq.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  6   Mature Width:  6

Habitat:  By the sides of streams in moist woods[109, 184].

Cultivation Notes: Succeeds in any good soil, tolerating lime but perhaps not suitable for very chalky soils[11]. A useful plant for moist shady positions[11]. Dislikes cold drying winds. A very ornamental plant[1], it is hardy to about -20°c[184]. Plants have withstood 30° of frost at Kew Gardens, but prefer shelter[11]. Very closely related to D. himalense and possibly no more than a sub-species of that species[11]. The flowers have a pungent aroma[182]. They are produced in racemes on the previous year's wood[11]. Dioecious, male and female plants must be grown if seed is required.
