Welcome to our 2017/8 list hope we can tempt you with plenty of our old favourites as well as some exciting new plants that we have searched out on our travels.

2016 started at full speed for us yet again January into February had Sue and I back in Colombia for our second winter/early spring expedition there. We certainly have developed a soft spot for the country, from only exploring about a third of it and just hope it all holds together there to give us the opportunity to carry on. Our hosts there have been tremendous, we are so fortunate to have such close family ties. Again we were able to investigate some remote areas that would have been impossible just a few years ago. The autumn saw the start of our quest around the Mediteranian and beyond for Ruscus in its more than the few species and forms we are led to believe exist. Which carried on through most of 2017 taking us to many new and interesting areas. Vietnam has also featured strongly over the past year, I was invited in the spring to join an international team headed by the University of British Columbia, investigating the biodiversity of Y Ty in the extreme north. An area I first discovered in 2003, which has become a focus for collectors after the discoveries I made there. The object of our work was to obtain protection status for the area, which I am really pleased to announce has just been granted in late 2017.

Reluctantly we have taken the decision that flower shows such as the February Show at Vincent Square are far too expensive for us to attend. Our speaking engagements were rewarding in many ways especially when it gives us the opportunity to cart a van load of plants along with us. The Boconnoc Show in Cornwall really gave us a boost, even if it was soggy. Then over in County Wexford on route to the Fota Show, which took us by surprise, at one point we were fearful that there wouldn’t be anything left for the show. May found us helping out a young couple who stuck their necks out by building an un-sponsored Fresh Garden. It was so rewarding to see the public reaction to an inspirational and truly original design. Back to back was our next event the very first North Wales Garden Festival, where another good friend Roy Lancaster performed a characteristically enthusiastic grand opening. Soon after we were in Italy with Rosie Atkins and her husband Eric, being entertained by another dear gardening friend, when the bombshell of Brexit hit us. Only the success of the heroic Welsh Football Team was capable of cheering us up. As it may come about that Brexit will close us as we have become so heavily dependant on exporting to the EU. The restrictions as they stand would impose draconian penalties on trading, to a level we would not expect the gardening public to be aware of (until it is too late).

It must have been August when we were finally able to take up Arabella Lennox-Boyd’s long standing invitation to visit Gresgarth, again with Rosie and Eric. The stamina of that Lady really does shine through in the energy that has been directed at that inspirational garden. Then it was back to Italy for yet another Murabillia Flower Show in Lucca, sloping off to Sicily for some collecting. Returning to the mainland to accept another invitation, to stay with Ursula Salghetti Drioli in Boccanegra, the infamous Ellen Willmott’s Italian garden. And on it went with another visit to La Mouissone where our dear friend and self confessed Hardy Perennial Maggie entertained us royally. Living close to the infamous Dino also has its benefits.

On it went on our return, with more speaking engagements, with the highlight of the Mount Stewart Collectors Weekend, where we met up with Roy and Sue Lancaster as well as Dan Hinkley. Leaving home not long after for more collecting in Morocco and southern Spain. All in an effort to see as many variations of Ruscus, a project that I have immersed myself in.

Please note our OPENING HOURS reflecting the need to open our gates earlier in the day for visitors staying locally. For those of our customers who are unable to visit the nursery we are offering an online shopping experience, with deliveries throughout the UK and EU, from www.mailorder.crug-farm.co.uk . Where there are search facilities by many criteria (i.e. colour), as well as by plant name, while indicating availability, pot sizes and prices. Our new carrier, DelSol (APC) offer an overnight fragile service, which should have your plants delivered in fresh condition before 5.30pm the following day to dispatch (UK). Unfortunately since the demise of City Link none of the national carriers will accept anything over 1.2m tall, unless on a pallet then it is still only 2m. Our carriage charges are by the box, (volume not weight) hence please consider ordering enough plants to fill a box, rather than one plant as the carriage charge would be the same. There is no minimum charge for the plants purchased. For additional queries on plant availability etc contact Sue at [email protected] . We try our best to reply to any queries, a brief e-mail can be the surest way of a prompt reply. For any other information visit our nursery website via www.crug-farm.co.uk where there is additional information on our events, accommodation and some seasonal plantings.

Please note the lay-out of the following list avoiding repetition of collected plants, (etc signifying multiple collections available) the full list and descriptions are on our mailorder web-site where space is unlimited. Here there are not only descriptions of all of our plants, but photographs of most as well, this information is also accessible on the computer in our sales-area. We should forewarn our customers that as the season progresses many of our lines will be out of stock. Conversely new lines highlighted bold on this list, will be offered from January 1st on as they become available. Please note that some of the plants are ordinarily only available bare rooted, _ indicating those plants.

Some notes on our 2017/8 introductions :-

Herbaceous

There are several more collections from our Himalayan expedition of 2013, starting with Actaea aff. foetida WJC13720 a scarce species in cultivation, which we found growing on the edge of a forested area at 3400m elevation after making our way up the Lachung Valley in eastern Sikkim. A medium sized perennial species to 1.2m tall, with divided basal leaves, composed of foetid leaflets. With short branched inflorescences of yellowish flowers, late summer into autumn. The seed capsules turning purple on this collection. From the nearby valley of Lachen at a loftier 3950m we found an intriguing umbellifer, Angelica nubigena WJC13763. We could hardly believe our eyes on seeing the sturdy short stems to around 1.2m tall, topped by a wide umbel composed of several 30cm wide umbels July to September, resulting in the flat rounded seed we were collecting. The basal leaves, which were dormant at that time, are renowned as being 1m wide ovate in outline, 3-pinnately divided lobed and serrated, with conspicuously large petiole wings, more so on the upper leaves. Some consider it to be a high altitudinal form of A. cyclocarpa, only time will tell. Another species we are introducing is Angelica breweri BSWJ14083 from the other side of the globe in California, trust this species will run the test of time too, as we have no experience in growing it as yet. Back to the Lachung Valley for Arisaema griffithii v. pradhanii WJC13660, a dramatic if only short species. With large trifoliate leaves, which are red or purple rimmed, with a spathe larger than the type, being incurved and reticulated with purple and white. The peculiar spadix is long and thin even thread-like to 50cm long. A second species A. angustatum v. peninsulae BSWJ8639 has been with us for quite some time, from a 2001 collection gathered from a colony growing on a steep hillside at 485m on the cold mountain of Woraksan, part of the central mountains of South Korea. With taller purple mottled stems to 90cm, bearing up to two pedate leaves, divided into 7-13, leaflets. The spathe is dark purple striped white, arching over the cylindrical spadix. We saw plenty of Cardiocrinum giganteum while in Sikkim, hence we could afford to be a bit picky. Both collections WJC13661 & 13698 were from Sikkim and from 3m tall specimens. Ligularia aff. atkinsonii WJC13663 was also plentiful in the Lachung Valley, while our second introduction of this genus is one of Dan Hinkley’s collections from China. We found L. wilsoniana growing in one of his friend’s garden, as its requirements are quite specific, cool shaded and moist, then it will flourish to a tall plant with wonderful architectural foliage. Our final Himalayan offering is merely a re-ident, apparently our Nepalese collections from 2002 of Selinum are S. carvifolium HWJK2347, all the same it’s a very popular earlier flowering species. Heracleum may well be best avoided in many of the species, but H. wallichii B&SWJ 13931 is what we were introduced to in Northern India as a spice, the seed that is. We have tested in our field where it has not shown any inclination to spreading by seed. Disporopsis bodinieri KWJ12277 from the lofty mountains of northern Vietnam, was initially described as a new species, but soon found to be this previously described, although not cultivated species, by Aaron Floden. It is a distinct species with taller stems than most with distinct foliage far more numerous with undulating

26 27



margins bearing larger flowers. Heteropolygonatum urceolatum will enter cultivation with the wrong name too, again Aaron has been at it correcting this to a new species of Polygonatum. This was found in our friend Finlay Colley’s nursery in Dublin which he had acquired from the notorious Chinese nursery of Chen-Yi as Polygonatum sp. S-222. It is a short arching evergreen species of this terribly mixed up group closely related to Polygonatum punctatum that Aaron is wading his way through. Back in Vietnam we are finally introducing the true long known about Hedychium forrestii Diels KWJ12314. It is quite common around the area of Sapa up in the north, but late flowering, hence little chance of flowering as far north as we are, but well worth it further south, where you have the summer heat to initiate the long succession of white scented flowers from the imbricate bracts. This collection was gathered from the highest population we could find in that area, at 1750m. H. wardii will also be added this coming season, taking us a little while to build up our stock of this easily grown yellow flowering species. Have a look at our new cultivar names for some new collections too. Ophiopogon malcolmsonii BSWJ7271 will be new to cultivation, although we have been growing this Thai species for some time. It will naturally require some shelter originating from such tropical latitudes, but nothing drastic as it is a collection from above 2,000m from the mountains in the north of the country. Where it formed large clumps of strap shaped leaves with short flowering scapes only 15cm tall. O. longifolius FMWJ 13278 and O. megalanthus FMWJ 13118 from Vietnam are both well worth growing when they become available. Unfortunately it will be after we use them on our RHS Chelsea display this year, where we are attempting to educate the gardening public that its not only the black cultivar that is ornamental. We have also been given a cultivar of a close relative, Reineckea carnea ‘Jinfo Jewel’ from Far Reaches Nursery in The US, which they collected in China. Begonia formosana f. albo-maculata B&SWJ 6881 from Taiwan will join our listing, as it has proved to be surprisingly hardy in our woodland garden, where its dark palmate leaves spotted silver-white, can be seen emerging a little later than some of our other species. Encouraged by our friend Tony Avent from North Carolina we are working our way through our collections of Aspidistra applying cultivar names, which we will do at the end of this plant list. Many of these will also be new to our listing. While on the subject, we were in Taiwan in autumn 2015, where we were given a copy of a paper revising the species in Taiwan, which confirmed all of our previous identifications of A. attenuata and A. daibuensis. Hence some of the affinity of (aff.) have disappeared from the list. Whereas A. ‘Pha-Hom Pok-Adot’ I can confirm to be an undescribed species, new to science, I presume. Hence availability will be restricted for a while. Meanwhile some of the cultivars that we have acquired are going to be added, A. fungiliformis ‘China Star’, A. linearifolia ‘Skinny Dippin’, A. minutiflora ‘Leopard’, A. minutiflora ‘Spangled Ribbons’, A. omeiensis ‘Jade Ribbons’ and A. retusa ‘Nanjing Green’. As well as species A. elatior var. vietnamensis, A. fasciaria, A. aff. punctata and A. sichuanensis. From the iconic Fuji-San in Japan comes Adenophora nikoensis f. linearifolia BSWJ11201, with willowy foliage on short stems. Quite alpine in its habit, but nothing too demanding as long as it has ample light and reasonable drainage.

Moving from Asia to South America we start with a couple of white flowering

species of Dahlia from Colombia, D. imperialis f. albiflora BSWJ14341 is impressive to say the least, a stunning perennial where we saw it as we were coming down from the Paramo, back towards Bogotá at 2760m. Here it formed sturdy plants only 3m tall in the relatively exposed conditions well clothed with white flowers. We have seen it previously in a more sheltered site where it easily gained 5m, but without seed. With similar white flowers, but usually with a splash of pale pink, is the Dahlia species from Colombia BSWJ14340, which also grew in the Bogotá basin, here generally forming sizeable colonies of 1.6m tall sturdy plants similar in habit to D. excelsa all be it shorter. Eryngium humboldtii BSWJ14342 was from a much higher altitude at 3565m, from a fair ways south, where this particularly spiny species formed bronzy plants to 75cm tall with dumpy flowers. Another collection E. aff. humboldtii BSWJ14367 was not so easy to identify, lacking the bronzyness and stature of the previous as well as bearing many more side branches of smaller flowers. This collection was from El Cocuy, much further north getting close to the Venezuelan border. Here at a lofty 4100m altitude grew Echeveria bicolor BSWJ14388 & 14849 strewn around a boulder covered terrain, with more choice plants that will be mentioned later. We selected a smaller silverier form and a green form, not being a 100% sure if it was all one species, with fleshy rosettes and scaly scapes of orange flowers. This area proved to be a real hot bed for the species rich Espeletia, E. aff. lopezii BSWJ14374 formed a sizeable colony of plants at 3780m, with wide trunks covered with the old inflorescences of many years, to around 3m tall. Topped by narrowly elliptic silvery foliage surrounding the woolly scapes of yellow ray-flowers with large central discs, just protruding above the foliage. From another Paramo which proved very diverse at 3730m elevation, but closer to Bogota, E. killipii BSWJ14319 was a striking species, this time with only a short trunk, forming rosettes of broadly elliptic-lanceolate silvery-white woolly leaves. Meanwhile equally woolly long arching stems bore yellow shortly rayed-flowers in continuous succession. In contrast E. uribei BSWJ14339 was a species that formed a very tall slender trunk to 4m high, but with similar silvery white woolly foliage that was quite broad on this species. While bearing sizeable ray-flowers on long scapes. This species grew at 3400m. While lower down at 3090m as we were still climbing there were huge colonies of E. argentea BSWJ14322 a rosette forming species forming wide clumps of (as their name suggests) very silvery slender long leaves. The colonies could be measured by the acre, but long finished flowering when we saw them, only leaving us with the small numerous seed heads to gather. We were also very pleased to find seed of the very popular Senecio niveoaureus BSWJ14320 in the same area, growing in a wet patch. Here it formed a tightly packed colony of stems to 1.5m tall well clothed in silvery-white lanceolate leaves with its sizeable showy yellow ray-flowers held in congested terminal spikes. No wonder the Colombians are always trying to grow this native species in their gardens. We found a short red flowering species of Salvia in El Cocuy, initially at a medium altitude, but then more of it as we gained altitude and reaching the Paramo. Here it formed sizeable colonies of short stems to around 30cm tall, which were entirely clothed with brown seed protecting bracts, which had born the red flowers earlier in the season. This we later identified as S. rubescens BSWJ14368, but what must be a variety of that species. On our way up to Ruiz

28 29




we found a wonderful form of Phytolacca bogotensis BSWJ14221 just growing on the verge, which has a low creeping habit with thick sprawling pinkish stems with generous quantities of dumpy pink upright flowering spikes. The habit could easily be attributed to the lofty 3,650m altitude we gathered its seed from. Not far there were a few species of Gunnera growing, one that has successfully germinated for us is G. saint-johnii B&SWJ 14708, what we call a medium sized species with deeply lobbed leaves on red spiky petioles.

Thalictrum podocarpum BSWJ14297 by contrast was found growing amongst the forest edge in an area attributed to Armenia. Here they formed a sizeable colony of sprawling plants on a steep bank with thick purple stems with clasping (amplexicaul) bloomy bracts at the base of each branch. While the foliage was silvery, the wide leaves composed of numerous small leaflets. Before leaving South America a mention must be made of yet another name change thrust upon us, Libertia chilensis Elegans Group is a new name for what we have been offering as L. grandiflora for many years. In recent years our travelling has taken us to North America, where we are finding plenty of plants worth growing. Aquilegia formosa v. formosa BSWJ13543 is fairly well known, but we could not resist growing this again. Encountering it on one of the trecks we made with Dan Hinkley on his home territory on Mt. Townsend, in the summer of 2013, while we were there for his wedding. On our return the following year on a speaking tour of The Pacific North West, we made sure that there was plenty of time to collect. A. eximia BSWJ14053 was yet another species we were lucky to still find seed of, this time much further south in California is an isolated canyon. Whereas Aquilegia formosa v. truncata BSWJ14072 was from northern California this time in the company of Sean Hogan. Sean seems to know his way around the mountains of these parts so well. He pointed out Keckiella corymbosa BSWJ14096 to us at Serpentine Point, southern Oregon, at 4,400 feet growing on a steep dry bank, looking like a bright red Penstemon to our eyes. No mistaking which family the following two species were from, Rudbeckia californica BSWJ14105 and Wyethia mollis BSWJ14067 were both collected from this region of the mountains straddling the border between northern California and southern Oregon. While our final offering from North America was from cultivation in Japan, where they appear to value the evergreen foliage of Coptis laciniata BSWJ12863 more than on the other side of the Pacific, or at least enough to offer it for sale.

More notes on our 2017/8 introductions

Woodies: primarily from our own wild seed collections

There are new collections of several species of Acer being added. So this is your opportunity to obtain smaller plants while they last, of A. erythranthum FMWJ13157, A. laevigatum FMWJ13439, and two collections of A. laurinum FMWJ13412 & KWJ12232 all from northern Vietnam. The last species being a re-identification from A. oblongum, shame there are no labels on the trees we collect from. There is also a recent collection of A. japonicum CWJ12840 from the cold high mountains of Shikoku Island, as well as a new species for us A. negundo BSWJ14060 from The Russian River, California from our 2014 trip. While there is also a new collection of A. sikkimense FMWJ13166 from northern Vietnam, we are also able to offer a remarkably different form that is more conventionally deciduous as A. sikkimense from Sikkim WJC13674. One of the perks we have participating in the Murabilia Flower Show in Lucca every year, is the offer of helping ourselves to seed from the Botanic Gardens who organise the show. Cephalotaxus fortunei was so tempting that we could not resist when we saw the large handsome shrub that it forms there heavy in its plum-like fruit.

Berberis densa B&SWJ 14873 was a very distinct species we found at high altitude in Colombia, where the branches were so heavily laden with fruit we could hardly make out the foliage, hence densa. We had great difficulty in identifying Cestrum buxifolium BSWJ14395 firstly on account that there is not a Flora covering Colombia. The genus was no problem at all, but our identification kept on going back to this species, but always with yellow flowers, until that is I finally tracked down a pressed specimen with bicoloured flowers as is the case in this collection. An exceptionally attractive high altitude small shrub in the wild with the characteristic tubular flowers held in profusion from the leaf axils close to the ends of the branches. A close relative is Saracha a genus I had not encountered before, but am very keen to see more after making their acquaintance. Of the two species we collected S. punctata B&SWJ 14882 has proved the easiest to reproduce. Although almost hidden with a thick layer of dust when we first encountered it, its beauty was still evident, with plenty of its long pendant tubular flowers in evidence. Sharing the thin air at this altitude are some wonderful species of Puya, too many to list all, but none the less forming some spectacular plants in the Paramo. With over 20 collections gathered in an attempt to get diversity, we are confidant that we have P. goudotiana, P. santosii and P. trianae to name but a few from so many. Escallonia myrtilloides BSWJ14329 may not have been from a lofty 4,000m as the previous, but 3,300m is quite good going, where it formed wide shrubs with the most intriguing of top-shaped flowers. Before we leave Colombia, we have some of our first collections of Oreopanax to mention, not quite sure how long it is going to take to get them to a saleable size yet. O. mutisianus B&SWJ 14912, will be the strangest one from this round, as it is from very high altitude, described as being much smaller than the 1-2 m tall shrubs we encountered, although we did come across a few that were smaller in exposed sites. Whereas O. cecropifolius B&SWJ 14761 grew in more sheltered pastures or edge of woodland forming small trees

50 51




or large shrubs. While O. hypargyreus B&SWJ 14870 grew on more open sites in El Cocuy with gorgeous compound leaves with contrasting creamy indumentum covered undersides.

It was John Hillier that commented on Betula insignis ssp. fansipanensis FMWJ13149 when he visited our growing fields in the spring of 2016, that it has the best foliage of any species. Which is hardly surprising when you become acquainted with this Vietnamese subspecies, as they are bronzy from spring through to autumn on a handsome leaf to-boot. Camellia pitardii from Vietnam WWJ11925 is also unusual on account of its flower colour in this collection, not that I was acquainted with the species before, its getting close to a terracotta. We offered a collection of Clethra fabri FMWJ13037 for the first time in our last list, just as well we waited until we had a back up stock of this exquisite species with bright red young growth, as it sold out very quickly considering how large they were. Also from the north of Vietnam and collected from within spitting distance of the previous, is Dendropanax cf. kwangsiensis FMWJ13274. As supply is limited I am tempted not to say too much as the demand for this genus is high, it would appear every Botanic Garden in Europe would like one. I suppose the same applies to Exbucklandia tonkinensis KWJ12209, but these will be for collection only as they have already reached a fair size, while as yet nobody can propagate them from cuttings. Parastyrax is certainly a new genus to me, I have yet to see a reference to it in horticulture. It has taken us a while to identify it as well as germinate the peculiar seed within seed, without success until our third attempt. P. species from northern Vietnam BWJ 15185, formed a small tree with green fruit and flowers in April, where I collected the seed in my favorite hunting ground of Y Ty. On that same spring trip I found seed of Schefflera aff. farinosa BWJ 15158, a species that we have admired for its pinnately lobbed leaflets on many an occasion, but never seen in flower or fruit prior to this. Still in this same area of Vietnam, we were puzzled by our encounter of Fagraea ceilanica FMWJ13099. A beautiful medium sized tree peppered with yellow aubergine-like fruit with small seed scattered therein. From the Gentian family of course! Ilex chapaensis HWJ946 again from Vietnam, has been here for a while as we originally collected the seed back in 2003, not even being sure that it was a holly until it flowered. Some of our plants have endured the worse of the weather during the cold winter of 2010/11 merely shrugging off –15C in a cold spot in one of our fields. Illicium merrillianum HWJ1015 faired well that winter too, but in a more sheltered garden situation. At long last we have plants to offer of this red flowering Vietnamese species, which flowers for us from the end of May. I. macranthum BSWJ11809 has been too scarce to risk our only stock plant, therefore has not had the same test, but we are confident of its hardiness. Looks to be close to I. simonsii to me, but larger flowers on longer peduncles. Destined to be popular. There will be additional Vietnamese Magnolia collections added, including a collection of M. foveolata and some M. floribunda, which includes a form FMWJ 13384 with exceptionally hairy stems from the slopes of Fansipan, that we are applying the cultivar name of ’Fansipan Furry’ at the end of this list. From a bit further north bordering Yunnan Province we found the distinct seed capsules of Pittosporum glabratum v. neriifolium BSWJ11685. This variety is a great addition, yet another evergreen shrub with linear evergreen leaves that always fit into the garden so well, contrasting with so many elliptic leaves. Ternstroemia are not well

known in cultivation in the UK, I have the distinct feeling that T. kwangtungensis FMWJ13402 will speed up this transition period. As this was an attractive and tidy small shrub where we found it growing on an exposed ridge almost in China on the Vietnamese border. Finally from this area are a couple of additional collections of Rhodoleia in the form of FMWJ13155 & FMWJ13422, just hope we can find more room in the garden for yet two more collections of these showy members of the Hamamelis family. Diospyros species from Vietnam FMWJ13164 was initially identified as D. lotus, but I am disagreeing with that, hence it will take a bit more time for me to look into it. The foliage is softly pubescent while the fruits were small with a large calyx. From the same mountain Euonymus frigidus KWJ12275 displays purple four-merus flowers in vast quantities, set off by pale green crenate foliage.

Our collection of Illicium anisatum BSWJ8411 has taken us far too long to build up stocks, but I feel that most will be well acquainted with this species we collected from Japan. Whereas I. philippinense CWJ12466 was listed in my copy of The Flora of Taiwan Second Edition as the previous. Which puzzled us greatly as it was obviously a different species only having a similar spring flowering period in common. Another Taiwanese long over-due introduction is Callicarpa formosana NMWJ 14553, which I have drooled over on many of our expeditions there, but not managed to germinate the seed until now. A leafless shrub covered in fruit is something to behold. Actually obtaining the seed has been the big problem with Carpinus rankanensis NMWJ 14544, until we worked with the Taiwan Museum, they knew exactly where it was well within our reach. I can remember clearly whilst in the company of the Museum’s collectors our first sighting of Rubus lambertianus var. glandulosus NMWJ 14507. It was like a cascade of orange fruit held in long pendant panicles from the branches of a small tree where this climbing species had clambered. Incidentally we have a fresh collection of P. illicioides var. angustifolium NMWJ 14560 that will be available soon. Moving to our oldest happy hunting ground of Taiwan, we are adding another collection of the elegant Schefflera taiwaniana AGM BSWJ3788. Keeping true to our original introduction, this form is of the smaller shrubbier well branching style, from the Central Mountains. Turpinia ternata CWJ12360 also hails from this magical isle, is an evergreen from the Staphylea family, which hit the headlines for the wrong reason, when someone broke into the nursery to steal one. Sarcococca taiwaniana RWJ9999 a star feature in the television program that followed us for a year, accompanying us to Taiwan in 2003. Which was when we gathered our original collection of this unidentified species, then having to ceremoniously burn our one and only plant on camera, to funeral music. Luckily we had gathered a bit of seed, but plan B had also kicked into play. Our co-collectors, The Taiwan National Museum of Natural Science, had also collected plants and had de-bugged them. Presenting us with a replacement plant from the same collection on our return there in 2007. It has yet to be officially named as the above. So what I want to know is, who is going to be the first person to complain about the price? We have been growing Tetrapanax papyrifer in our walled garden for a long time, where it has been admired for retaining its woody trunk, even through the coldest winter in 50 years (2010/11). But it has been impossible to propagate without killing the mother plant, unlike other forms it does not sucker. Hence we have re-visited the mother plant in Taiwan to re-collect some seed, without success, while finally finding

52 53




the plant destroyed. Our latest collection is from a similar altitude on the same mountain, but from the other side. T. papyrifer ‘Meifeng’ named after the area of collection, which is known for its more challenging environment, producing some remarkably hardy woody plants. We were fortunate to be able to collect good seed of Paulownia not just P. kawakamii NMWJ 14552, but the other two species that occur in Taiwan as well. P. fortunei NMWJ 14533 and P. × taiwaniana NMWJ 14529. We even arrived at night in one place to find in the morning that we had parked our car under a Paulownia in full seed. Before leaving Taiwan a mention ought to be made of the currently accepted name for Viburnum arboricolum as V. odoratissimum v. arboricola, of which we still have three excellent collections growing. While Viburnum triphyllum BSWJ14298 is a fresh collection of this chunky Colombian species with large black fruit. Mahonia oiwakensis from Hong Kong PBR371 was another gratefully received gift from Holland. So far it looks different enough from our Taiwanese collections to be distinguished. No sign of it in the areas of Hong Kong we were in autumn 2015.

Moving on to Korea we are adding our most recent collection, of the long awaited re-identified endemic Sorbus from the remote South Korean island of Ullüngdõ. S. ullungdoensis BSWJ12640 is a very distinct chunky species long incorporated in S. commixta, always distinct in its fiery autumn foliage. In Japan we found a small quantity of Cinnamomum japonicum B&SWJ 14627, an evergreen tree that I have been after for a while after admiring the glossy foliage in the wild. We also found seed of Cornus kousa B&SWJ 14620 in the same area, if you prefer it to our Korean collections. While further south, but at a much higher altitude we found plenty of seed of Corylopsis glabrescens B&SWJ 14636. Growing in a rather bleak rock strewn and exposed area of Kyushu. While from the north of Japan we have Gamblea innovans which can be seen for miles in the autumn due to its bright yellow trifoliate leaves, easily associated with the ginseng family when seen in fruit as is Merrilliopanax, but again virtually unknown in British horticulture. We aim to educate. We will also be offering a new collection of Daphniphyllum macropodum BSWJ12691, this time from South Korea collected while there in 2010. A contrasting evergreen are Neolitsea sericea BSWJ12738, which we found both in Korea and Japan. The emerging foliage can set the heart alight of even the most conservative of growers, not to mention the display of red fruit. Even more tempting is a yellow fruiting collection from southern Japan, N. sericea with yellow fruit CWJ12830. Then not far from that collection the penny finally dropped as to which of the many names assigned to Zanthoxylum armatum CWJ12824 was correct. A wide ranging species with the usual spicy seed, but with distinct winged foliage that looks as it should be evergreen. There is also a collection FMWJ13091 from Vietnam being added. It also occurs in the Himalayas, although we have not come across it there, but we are adding the scandent Z. tomentellum BSWJ 13903 from West Bengal. The keen eyed may spot Deutzia corymbosa on our list, this is again another re-identification from D. compacta. Our book did not mention that species for Sikkim. We will also be offering D. discolor ’Major’ as seen dotted about our gardens, thanks that is to Chris Sanders for giving us a positive identification on this old cultivar. Speaking of old, we have a collection joining our list of Deutzia pulchra from the Philippines BSWJ3948 which we collected in 1996. Flourishing in our garden in a fairly exposed site quite indifferent to our Welsh climate. From China comes

Meliosma myriantha v. discolor MF97132 a much admired shrub in our garden, on account of its handsome herring-bone foliage adorned with panicles of small creamy-white flowers in the summer. A gratefully received gift from Maurice Foster.

Our collection of Daphne bholua from India GWJ9436 has been in our garden for quite some time. It flowers through the winter during milder winters or early spring in harder winters, with flowers every bit as good as named forms, or am I bias? These are all seed raised, we find that you have a better root system that way. The foliage of Euonymus porphyreus BSWJ13914 is unmistakable, narrow and willowy is how we found it in West Bengal in 2013 in pockets of remnant forest on the Singalila Ridge. Lindera assamica BSWJ13984 was a collection gathered on our descent form small trees full of flower buds ready for the spring display. As was Magnolia doltsopa BSWJ13996 with upright spikes of fruit, with oblong-lanceolate leaves growing in the shelter of the valley. One of our primary target plants from our Himalayan expeditions of 2013, was Merrilliopanax alpinus BSWJ13939, which we had collected on previous occasions, but only resulting in a few plants (remember our RHS Chelsea displays). A determined effort has produced enough plants to offer, from three successful accessions. Although hardly known in cultivation, we are confident that this will change, when the paddle-like leaves of this deciduous long lived tree or large shrub is seen in gardens. It was while on the hunt for the preceding that we stumbled across Gamblea ciliata B&SWJ 13907. Although in the same family the resemblance foliage-wise could not be further, the biggest problem we have with this long lived tree is getting it to a saleable size. Pittosporum napaulense is also from that neck of the woods albeit from a lower elevation, rather than a collection this was given to us, hence we have no first hand experience of growing this species. I am told it requires some shelter from low temperatures. We were really pleased with ourselves for finding Tetradium fraxinifolium WJC13750 in the Lachen Valley of Sikkim. We had seen some of the fruit offered for sale in some of the local markets there, without identifying it while separated from its distinct pinnate foliage. Quite different from what was identified for us in Vietnam, I can see another re-dentification on the horizon. Finding Tetracentron sinense v. himalense WJC13818 was not only memorable, but one of the highlights of our Sikkim expedition. I’ll never forget looking up into the trees through my binoculars and seeing the distinct catkin-like spikes and blurting out its name, as I had no idea there was a Himalayan form of it. Needless to say our guides have been pointing it out to all and sundry ever since, as one of the rarest trees.

Frangula californica BSWJ14057 was collected as a Rhamnus, from a hidden valley under the name of The Cedars, just an hour’s drive from San Francisco, California at 1,300 feet. Where there were only a small amount of its black fruit left. Also grown from seed given to us by the JC Roulston Arboretum N. Carolina is Heteropterys glabra. Which I must confess to knowing very little about, except it looks intriguing in seed, which looks so much like that of a colourful Acer. We have subsequently seen small shrubs of it growing in the US. Which brings me to our final introductions for this season from much closer to home, Ruscus × microglossum BSWJ14041, will be a new name to many, but we have seen the plants in cultivation here in the UK under the species name of one of its parents. It is thought to be a natural female hybrid between the eastern Mediterranean

54 55




species of R. hypoglossum and the western Mediterranean species R. hypophyllum. Traditionally grown in countries such as Italy in those gaps that appear at ground level under evergreen hedges or surrounding specimen shrubs that are surrounded by lawns. We will also have R. hypophyllum B&SWJ 15009 some time during the season, from our visit to Sicily. Where it is commonly seen in shaded boundary hedges.

More notes on our 2017/8 introductions :-

Climbers primarily from our own wild seed collections

Aristolochia baetica B&SWJ 15071 is one of our Spanish collections, where we have seen it growing in various conditions, which naturally affects the size of the plant. In areas that are sheltered and receive moisture during the season, they form tall plants that can clamber up into small trees or large shrubs, their grey heart-shaped foliage contrasting with that of its host. We also encounter it growing in more challenging hot dry and rocky conditions, where it only forms small sprawling plants, with very little to twine around. Each has its merits, the latter is probably the safest bet for our British climate though. Bomarea have had a reasonable presence on our listing since we started our exploits in Latin America. This time there will be a noticeable increase due to our 2015 & 16 Colombian expeditions. Joining the ranks are B. aff. bredemeyerana B&SWJ 14725, collected from high altitude of over 3,400 m from the Central Mountain Range in Colombia in early spring 2016. B. aff. multiflora B&SWJ 14946, a collection found in the mountains of Tolima near Cajamarca, Colombia at 2870m where they had formed enormous seed heads on huge plants. B. puracensis B&SWJ 14729, yet another collection from a huge plant, but from 3,600m on this occasion. Finally B. racemosa B&SWJ 14213 from the Central Mountain Range in Colombia in early spring 2015 at 3,150m, if I have the identifications correct that is. They worked really well in our walled garden under shrubs until -15C saw them off, in 2010/11. I relish the opportunity to try them out in some new spots. We have a fresh collection of Calceolaria perfoliata BSWJ14722 which we collected from the high altitude of around 3,300 m from the Central Mountain Range in Colombia in early spring 2016. They would appear to have a stronger constitution and have grown into strong plants already. Meanwhile in El Cocuy we found Calceolaria aff. tomentosa BSWJ14896, a species we had not encountered before, growing at a similar altitude, but from a colder more exposed area. The foliage is noticeably different with triangular leaves (hastate) on broadly winged petioles. We have gathered up a respectable selection of Passiflora, mostly from high altitude as we thought they would stand a fighting chance of some hardiness. The initial signs are promising as several have flowered already. P. bogotensis BSWJ14951 was from a magical valley which we found near the end of our 2016 trip in the high mountains of Tolima near Cajamarca. P. cuatrecasasii BSWJ14834 is top of my list to try, with the flower colour veering towards red. Whereas P. manicata BSWJ14868 will require protection, coming from a warmer lower altitude location. P. mixta BSWJ14832 was from an area of Colombia called Armenia, where you would expect it to be cold, not so, this collection will also require protection. P. mollissima BSWJ14876 is a collection from El Cocuy hence is well worth a try for hardiness with some shelter from the coldest weather of course. P. semiciliosa BSWJ14824 is a new one to me, hence I am keen to try it, although it is another one that is not from a great altitude at 2610 m. P. tarminina

BSWJ14960 on the other hand was a collection on our way down from the mountains of Tolima near Cajamarca in 2016, good ripe tasty fruit. Finishing off with P. tripartite BSWJ14768 & 14807 which will definitely be on my list to try in the garden. Muehlenbeckia volcanica BSWJ14913 is another Colombian Paramo plant with potential hardiness. A larger leaf than any I have grown previously, as well as a most unusual flower-like black fruit. Holboellia sp. nova FMWJ13055 is going to be an interesting one to watch. It was introduced as this genus initially, but changed to Stauntonia, as it was taking so long to flower. Then who did I see in full flower in Vietnam last April, but our friend here, no doubting its pedigree after that encounter.

New cultivar names we are allocating 2017/8 :-

Not only as we have done in the past to conform with international nomenclature rules, but to conform with The Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) and The Nagoya Protocol. We are only allowed to apply cultivar names to collected material or their progeny including hybrids, with the agreement of the host country. Hence this year the emphasis is on Aspidistra, as we have an agreement with Taiwan.

Aspidistra mushaensis ‘Wushe Wacky’An even older collection we gathered in 1993, from the Central Mountains of Taiwan, from a small area where it was considered to be endemic, close to the hill town of Wushe. The species bears dark fat purple flower buds in July for us spreading their fleshy petals late in the month through to August or September. The leaves are smaller than the other two species from Taiwan, held on stiff upright petioles, while the lanceolate-oblanceolate leaves are sometimes lightly spotted and streaked.

Aspidistra aff. geastrum ‘Opium Hit’It will have been 20 years this coming autumn since we collected this plant as BSWJ6563. From an area that the military had warned us to keep our heads down, as we were heading for Doi Hit in northern Thailand. Where several people had been shot the previous week, just because they had seen the opium runners, who did not want to be identified. We took their advice. All the same we did find some really good plants there, like this species of Aspidistra which formed a small colony of broadly elliptic leaves unusually mottled and faintly striped on tall petioles (compared to other species from there). Bearing the distinctly textured cup-shaped purplish flowers that are described as being finely rugose, with the stigma and upper surface of the lobes being of the same colour.

Aspidistra sutepensis ‘Chiang-dao Chace’Well at last we can confirm the identity of our collection BSWJ5252 having finally seen the description of the species. Originating from one of our collections gathered from the distinctly angular limestone mountain of Doi Chiang-Dao on our first expedition there in 1997. A massive slab which stands out from its flat surroundings, as a formidable grey chunk. Here it formed loose colonies of unusually mottled and faintly striped leaves, on relatively short petioles bearing the broadly elliptic leaves. Spreading from a thick rhizome bearing spotted or mottled leaves sometimes with the distinct campanulate flower at ground level. Partly named for our youngest grandson Chace Wynn-Jones, born in 2015.

Hedychium tengchongense ‘Y Tý’ Another great collection of this species gathered from my favorite stomping ground in the very north of Vietnam, on the border with Yunnan, with Peter Wharton in 2007 under our collection of WWJ11964. Where it formed a good sized clump of upright greenish stems, which had held the flamboyantly scented white flowers with long uprightly curved orange filaments.

Hedychium yunnanense ‘Iago’From seed we collected on the wooded slopes of Mt. Langbian near Dalat a hill station in southern Vietnam in 2003, under the collection BSWJ9717. Where it formed small clumps of yellow upright foliage with opened seed capsules of bright red fleshy seed. A rare species in cultivation and much valued by those who know it for its sturdy stems to 1m tall with narrow leaves 20-40cm long, bearing in summer a cone-like terminal spidery inflorescence, of long white very fragrant flowers with long exerted orange filaments. Named for our second oldest grandson Iago Felix Wynn-Gawne born in 2009. Proved hardy unprotected at below -15C in the winter of 2010/11.

Tetrapanax papyrifer ‘Meifeng’ From seed collected by the Taiwan National Museum of Natural Science Taichung. Which we had tagged together during our joint expedition there in the previous autumn of 2015, for them to collect when ripe. From a colony of particularly large specimens growing in an exposed area which receives plenty of cold icy weather during the winter months. In an area known as Meifeng, where we have collected several valuable collections of hardy woody plants. The collection was made under our joint accession number of NMWJ14580.
