Daphniphyllum macropodum HC 970612

A strange rhododendron like plant from Japan and Korea, it has leaves unlike any Daphne I have ever seen. Rhododendrophyllum might have been more descriptive, there is supposed to be a variegated form, which could be fantastic, but alas I’ve never seen it. Flowers aren’t much but worth growing for the foliage and just to say you grow something in the Daphniphyllacaea, which contains 14 other even more obscure species.
