 Aspidistra lurida, Ker-Gawl (A. elatior, Hort. A. punctata, Lindl.). Lvs. 15-20 in. long, stiff, evergreen, oblong-lanceolate, sharp-pointed, radical; blade narrowed into a channeled petiole a third of its length: fls. lurid purple, on short 1-fld. scapes; perianth segms. 8; stamens 8; stigma broadly shield-shaped, like a small mushroom. China. Var. variegate, Hort., has alternation of green and white stripes, no 2 Lvs. being exactly alike.—In Fla., the aspidistra makes beautiful dense specimens in unheated plant-sheds. It thrives in sunshine when growing along the edges of ditches and flowing water.

+''Aspidistra elatior'' is well-known in cultivation and has a reputation for withstanding neglect, giving rise to its common name of Cast-iron Plant.<ref name=mobot/> It is tolerant of low light, low humidity, temperature fluctuation and irregular watering.<ref name=mobot/> It is best situated in a position away from direct sun to avoid leaf bleaching.<ref name=mobot/> Good drainage is also required for optimal growth and to avoid root rot.<ref name=mobot/>
