This Ehretia macrophylla was planted in 1973 at the Jardin des Plantes, Nantes, France. 6 October 2023. Image Tom Christian.

A handsome foliaged plant, not getting beyond the dimensions of a shrub with us, and more tender than E. thyrsiflora. It is frequently killed to the ground at Kew, but sends up stout, erect shoots several feet high during the ensuing summer. Leaves roundish, 4 to 6 in. long, two-thirds to nearly as much wide, rough with small bristles on both surfaces, especially above; young shoots similar. Native of the Himalaya.
