A modern reference to temperate woody plants, including updated content from this site and much new material, can be found at Trees and Shrubs Online.
This species, in its typical state, is now in cultivation from seeds collected on Mount Omei (Emei Shan) by Keith Rushforth (KR 173 and 184). It was mentioned briefly on page 746 under R. prattii, which now becomes a subspecies of it:
subsp. prattii (Franch.) Chamberlain – See R. prattii, page 745. The subspecies faberi differs from this only in having smaller leaves with a denser juvenile tomentum (Rev. 2, p. 359).
Some names used by Bean have now been superseded and are no longer familiar. To ensure that all plants can be easily found, under any name, we have cross-referenced to The Plant List, a collaboration between RBG Kew, Missouri Botanical Gardens and other organisations, which aims to provide a currently accepted name for any plant. Not all taxonomists will agree with all Plant List nomenclature, but it provides a baseline to compare names. For each species above, clicking on the Modern Name will link to the entry for that name on The Plant List website.
