Aspidistra daibuensis images
This composite image is of the flowers of the Crûg Farm collection Aspidistra daibuensis BSWJ 312b from close to the South Cross Island Highway in southern Taiwan. Because the Taiwanese Aspidistra are so poorly defined in the literature I am not completely confident that this is Aspidistra daibuensis.
BSWJ 312b
a. flower in situ
b. flower in situ excavated to show origin on rhizome
c. flower (cm grid)
d. flower dissected (cm grid)
e. flower dissected
f. stigma longitudinal section

The flowers of BSWJ 312b are more or less beneath the compost surface.
