Corylopsis sinensis, the Chinese winter hazel (simplified Chinese: 蜡瓣花; traditional Chinese: 蠟瓣花; pinyin: là bàn huā),[2] is a species of flowering plant in the witch-hazel family Hamamelidaceae, native to western China. Growing to 4 m (13 ft) tall and broad, it is a substantial deciduous shrub. With ovate leaves, it produces delicately fragrant, drooping racemes of pale yellow flowers with orange anthers in spring.[3]
The Latin specific epithet sinensis means "Chinese" or "of China".[4]
The Latin meaning of Corylopsis refers to its resemblance of the genus, making it a very classic example for Corylopsis. [5]
There are four varieties and one form recorded:-[6]
- Corylopsis sinensis var. calvescens
- Corylopsis sinensis var. glandulifera
- Corylopsis sinensis var. parvifolia
- Corylopsis sinensis var. sinensis
- Corylopsis sinensis fo. veitchiana
This plant is cultivated as an ornamental. Though hardy down to −15 °C (5 °F), it prefers a sheltered spot in acidic soil. Both C. sinensis var. calvescens f. veitchiana[7] and C. sinensis var. sinensis[8] are recipients of the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
