winters without injury, even as young seedlings; perhaps it is rash to present it as 

 hardy for the north of France, but I am sure that for the climate of central France

 in large rockeries, just as it will have its place in massed effects with other species. 

 We have grown this interesting nov.elty from seeds sent by Mr. E. H. Wilson, which 

 were collected in the thickets near Mupin, central China, at altitudes of from 1,500 to 

 1,800 meters. He had already met this species the preceding year in the ravines 

 around Ichang." (Leon CheTiault, Revue Horticole, November 16, 1912.)
