(Aka: Aspidistra sp. QCS-III-L) This cool aspidistra (possibly a new species) was wild-collected by Dr. Jim Waddick from the Qing Cheng San Mountains of Sichuan in 1985. Each 20" long x 2.25" wide leaf is speckled with pale, light-yellow dots. This is the most vigorous of the "China" selections. Each plant makes a nice, loose-growing specimen clump, or they may be massed in the woodland garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
