Genus

Closely allied to E. fortunei, this species has a wide range from the Himalaya to western China. Although seen by Wilson in western Szechwan it was apparently not introduced to cultivation (at least from China) until collected by Roy Lancaster on Mount Omei in 1980 (L.551). ‘On the mountain it formed extensive carpets in the shade of rhododendrons, and climbing for several metres up the stems of neighbouring trees’ (The Plantsman, Vol. 4(4), p. 253 (1983)).
