Aspidistra daxinensis

A little-known cast-iron plant named for Daxin county in south-western Guangxi, a limestone karst area near the Vietnam border. Like its relatives it is a slow, rhizomatous forest-floor herb that wants deep shade, steady moisture and a mild, frost-free winter. Little is published beyond the original description, so these conditions lean on the genus.

Where it grows wild

Probably shaded evergreen forest on limestone karst, in leaf litter and rock pockets, as with most Guangxi Aspidistra; the habitat of this species is not documented in detail.

No recorded elevations; Daxin karst forests mostly lie at a few hundred metres.
