pseudobuxifolium affinity

A new species in cultivation.  Relatively dwarf tropical evergreen shrubs with small and glossy, dark olive-green elliptic leaves.  The small tubular-cylindrical flowers are wine red to salmon-pink.  A little-known species that is known only from Sulawesi (the Celebes) where it occurs on Mt. Rantemario at around 10,500 to 11,000 ft.

 

RSBG  Our first offering of this very rare species.  Very unusual salmon-pink flowers on this clone which differs in many small ways from the original description (which was based upon only one specimen)  (+20?/R2/2
