Aspidistra cylindrica
A recently described (2016) Aspidistra from the mountains of southern central Vietnam, known from a handful of records between roughly 1,000 and 1,600 m. Like its relatives it is a slow, rhizomatous forest-floor plant that wants deep shade, cool-to-mild nights and constant moisture; little species-specific growing information exists.
Where it grows wild
Recorded in evergreen montane forest of the Central Highlands and adjacent coastal ranges of Vietnam. Conditions here are inferred from the genus, which grows as clumps on shaded, humus-rich forest floors and rocky slopes.
Climate sites sit at about 1,000 and 1,570 m; individual records rarely carry an elevation.
