Origin
| States and Territories | China; Anhui; Hunan; Jiangsu; Jiangxi; Zhejiang; China: lower Chang Jiang (Yangtse) valley (Anhui, Hunan, Jiangxi, Jiangsu, Zhejiang). The true geographic range of this species is difficult to ascertain. In Atlas of the Gymnosperms of China (Ying et al., 2004), a map with dots (based on herbarium specimen data from Chinese herbaria) is produced which gives a much wider range than here presented. A map given in China Plant Red Data Book 1 (Fu & Jin, 1992) is similarly optimistic. A check by Dr Xiang Qiao-ping in the Beijing Herbarium (PE) revealed that most of these specimens were collected from planted trees or trees in villages and towns (e.g. near temples) that did not occur in the wild. This problem is acknowledged in Flora of China 4 (1999). Wang (1961) has given an indication where we may expect this attractive tree to occur in its natural habitat: his examples are all in northern Zhejiang. | |||
