Aspidistra longgangensis

A recently described (2015) Aspidistra named after the Longgang karst area of south-western Guangxi, a rhizomatous evergreen herb of shaded limestone forest floors with flowers at soil level. Almost nothing is published on its ecology, so grow it like other Guangxi karst Aspidistra: shaded, humid, evenly moist and in a free-draining, lime-rich mix.

Where it grows wild

Assumed from its name and the genus: shaded evergreen or seasonal forest on limestone karst, rooting among rocks and leaf litter. No species-specific habitat notes were checked.

No recorded elevations. Longgang karst forests lie mostly at about 200-600 m; the climate point used here sits at 72 m in Hunan, far from that area.
