Scientific Names

Read about Edgeworthia in the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture
Edgeworthia (after M. P. Edgeworth, English botanist in East Indies, and his sister Maria). Thymelaeaceae. Ornamental woody subjects grown chiefly for their early yellow and fragrant flowers and for the handsome foliage. Deciduous sparingly branched shrubs, with stout branches: lvs. alternate, entire, short-petioled, crowded at the end of the branches: lvs. in dense, peduncled heads, axillary, on branches of the previous year, with or before the lvs., apetalous; calyx-tube cylindric, with 4 spreading lobes, densely villous outside; stamens 8, in 2 rows; style elongated, stigma cylindric: fr. a dry drupe.—Two species in Japan, China and Himalayas. These plants are hardy only in warmer temperate regions, but do not stand hot and dry summers; they thrive in any good well-drained garden soil; if grown in pots, a sandy compost of peat and loam, with sufficient drainage given, will suit them. Propagation is by greenwood cuttings in spring under glass; also by seeds. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
