Aspidistra urceolata

A rhizomatous Aspidistra from south-central China, named for its urn-shaped flowers. No wild records are mapped, so its conditions are built from a regional climate point in Guizhou plus what is known for the genus: deep shade, steady moisture and a cold but mostly frost-free winter.

No recorded elevations; the climate point used is at about 1000 m.
