Daphniphyllum

Daphniphyllum - Evergreen shrubs of fine effect of foliage and little beauty of flower. D. Glaucescens grows well in the home counties so far as tried, the leaves over 6 inches long, and glaucous underneath, the flowers small, in the autumn; but the habit is so fine wherever evergreens are cared for that this will be worth growing, at least in the southern and warmer counties. The other species known is D. josoenses. It is a much dwarfer plant, and is an under shrub in the forests of Yezo. These plants seem to be hardy enough in the southern districts of Britain, and rich as we are in evergreen plants in Britain, these are distinct enough to take a good place.
