Description

The precise delimitation and description of some of these Chinese forest species is not easy. This one has branching stems with tooth-edged leaves which are almost round, whilst being almost polygonal. The leaves vary in colouring but are usually lizard green and leathery purple in varying patterns, veering towards almost all purple at times.

Below these (paired) leaves, is held a cluster of pear-shaped, pendant, deep purple flowers hanging from the junction of the two leaf stems. Woodsy conditions suit it well here.
