Aspidistra omeiensis

An Aspidistra named after Mount Emei (Emeishan) in Sichuan, recorded from only a couple of sites on and around the mountain. It is a hardy-ish subtropical forest-floor herb: give it deep shade, warm humid summers and a cool, somewhat drier winter.

Where it grows wild

Understorey of humid subtropical broadleaf forest on the lower slopes of Mount Emei; species-specific habitat notes were not available, so this follows the genus.

The recorded sites are around 450–600 m; it may occur higher on the mountain, but this is not documented in sources we reached.
