Origin
| States and Territories | China: S Gansu (?), Guizhou, W Hubei (?), W Hunan, Shaanxi (?), Sichuan, Chongqing; widely cultivated in Central and S China. From a survey of all herbarium specimens held at PE by Qiaoping Xiang and the author in October 2000, it appeared from locality notes on the (Chinese) labels that the majority of collections came from planted trees in villages, temple grounds, roadsides and the like. Outside the area in Central China indicated above, all records (including those held in other herbaria) are from such urban or cultivated localities. Within it many records are likewise from such places but in addition many indicate some form of secondary vegetation. Only 16 out of 133 (12%) records in PE are from forest locations, the natural habitat of this species. Their distribution is virtually restricted to N Guizhou, W Hunan and former E Sichuan (Chongqing) and this may indeed be the only area where the species occurs naturally at present.; China; Chongqing; Guizhou; Hubei; Sichuan; Hunan | |||
