It is known in as <strong>''longtou jianzhu</strong>'' , meaning ''dragon head Fargesia''. The scientific name is derived from Ancient Greek and has the same meaning. It is found at high elevations in the south of Gansu, western Hubei, southern Shaanxi and northern Sichuan. The plant is a significant source of food for the giant panda. <br />
<br />
There is a bamboo cultivated in the west sold under the same name, but it is actually a recently described species, namely ''Fargesia apicirubens''. Confusingly, the most common cultivar of ''F. dracocephala'' is sometimes sold in the west under the name ''Fargesia rufa'', which is a different species. When properly designated, it appears as ''Fargesia 'Rufa'.lipogunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08627844878698307531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887777359017843065.post-49968215073122615612008-09-14T00:59:00.012-07:002008-09-14T01:00:02.764-07:00Euryodendron excelsum<strong>''Euryodendron excelsum</strong>'' is a species of plant in the Theaceae family.

<br />
<br />
It is a woody evergreen vine, growing to 20 m tall, climbing by means of small rootlets on the stems, similar to ivy . Like ivy, it also has a sterile non-flowering climbing or creeping phase, which on reaching high enough into the crowns of trees to get more light, develops into an adult, flowering phase which does not have climbing rootlets.<br />
<br />
The are arranged in opposite pairs, elliptic to elliptic-ovate, 2-6 cm long and 1-3 cm broad, with a finely serrated margin. The flowers are inconspicuous, 5 mm diameter, with four small greenish-yellow petals. The fruit is a four-lobed pale green pod-like berry, which splits open to reveal the fleshy-coated orange seeds, one seed in each lobe.<br />
<br />
There are two or three : <br />
*''Euonymus fortunei'' var. ''fortunei'' . China, Korea.<br />
*''Euonymus fortunei'' var. ''radicans'' Rehd. . Japan.<br />
*''Euonymus fortunei'' var. ''vegetus'' Rehd. Northern Japan , doubtfully distinct from var. ''radicans'' .<br />
<br />
It is named after the plant explorer Robert Fortune. The species is closely related to ''Euonymus japonicus'', which differs mainly in being only a shrub, without climbing roots.<br />
<br />
<h3>Cultivation and uses</h3><br />
<br />
It is widely cultivated as an ornamental plant, with numerous cultivars selected for such traits as yellow, and slow, growth. It is used as a groundcover or a vine to climb walls and trees. <br />
<br />
Plants propagated from mature flowering stems always grow as non-climbing shrubs. Some popular cultivars such as 'Moon Shadow' are shrub forms.<br />
<br />
Most of the cultivated plants belong to var. ''radicans'' . It is generally considered cold hardy in 5 to 9, and is considered an invasive species in some parts of the world, notably the eastern United States.<br />

The shrub grows to 2.5 m tall , often wider than tall. The stems are notable for their four corky ridges or "wings". These unique structures develop from a cork cambium deposited in longitudinal grooves in the twigs' first year, unlike similar wings in other plants. The are 2-7 cm long and 1-4 cm broad, ovate-elliptic, with an acute apex. The flowers are greenish, borne over a long period in the spring. The fruit is a red aril enclosed by a four-lobed pink, yellow or orange capsule. <br />
<br />
The common name "burning bush" comes from the bright red fall color. <br />
<br />
It is a popular ornamental plant in gardens and parks due to its bright pink or orange fruit and attractive fall color. This plant is an invasive species of woodlands in eastern North America.lipogunohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08627844878698307531noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7887777359017843065.post-28356811519337762172008-09-14T00:59:00.005-07:002008-09-14T00:59:25.484-07:00Euonymus acanthocarpa<strong>''Euonymus acanthocarpa</strong>'' is a species of plant in the Celastraceae family.
