Aspidistra yunwuensis

A little-known Aspidistra from South-Central China, known almost only from its original description. Treat it like other Guizhou Aspidistra: an evergreen, rhizomatous herb of shady, humid forest floor, often on limestone, with a cool dry winter and a warm wet summer.

Where it grows wild

Inferred from the genus: shaded forest understory on humus-rich soil or limestone rubble, where the rhizome creeps at or just below the surface and flowers sit at ground level.

No wild records carry an elevation; the climate was modelled at about 1,000 m in northern Guizhou, typical of the karst hills where many Chinese Aspidistra grow.
