Samples of this species were gathered by Sir George 
Staunton in the province of Canton, China, and deposited 
in the herbariums of Sir Joseph Banks and Mr. Lambert. 
When the plant was introduced we have not learned. It is 
not recorded in the last edition of the Hortus Kewensis. 
The species borders upon alceafolius of Lamarck as well 
as upon rugosus of Sir James Smith in Rees's Cyclopedia, 
but differs from both by leaves with an elongated middle 
lobe and by reflected panicles; specially from the first in 
not having apgular branches, from the second by its
