1 744. STAUNTONIA ANGUSTIFOLIA Lardizabalaceae James Cullen Summary. Stauntonia angustifolia (Wall.) Wall. ex Christenh., formerly Holboellia angustifolia Wall. is described and illustrated. Its recent history in cultivation in Cambridge is discussed. The plant which forms the basis of this article and the plate was received at Cambridge University Botanic Garden from the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew at Wakehurst Place in 1999, as Stauntonia hexaphylla, collected wild in Sichuan, China by the Expedition to Sichuan (SICH 1755) - details are given below. It was grown under this name, as accession , on the old ticket office at the Bateman Street entrance to the garden. Here it did extremely well, covering the whole southern aspect of the building with its handsome twining stems and shining palmate leaves. It is remarkable in that the male and female flowers are considerably different from each other, and the female flowers, though larger than the males, are less frequently produced and easily overlooked. Indeed, superficial examination can suggest that two different plants, a pink-flowered climber and a white-flowered one, are growing together. It flowered spectacularly in 2006, producing large numbers of racemes of its unusually coloured, vanilla-scented male flowers; female racemes were presumably produced then, but were not noticed by anyone. In 2007 it was decided that the plant should be illustrated for this magazine, but it did not flower in that year, nor did it do so in In 2009 it did flower, but not as spectacularly as it had done in 2006, and material of both male and female inflorescences was collected and studied. In 2009, as part of the reconstruction of the garden s entrance, and the building of a new classroom, the old ticket office was demolished, and the plant destroyed. Emergency attempts to propagate it using cuttings were unsuccessful. Fortunately, Tony Kirkham tells me that the plant is still in existence at Kew and possibly at Windsor Great Park, the High Beeches, Sussex, the National Botanic Garden of Wales, and Sparsholt College, Winchester, all gardens to which the original material was distributed.

2 Study of the plant showed quite clearly that it was not Stauntonia hexaphylla, but was a member of the genus Holboellia (as then understood). Stauntonia was traditionallydistinguishedfromholboellia in that its filaments are connate and the perianth-segments are clearly in two whorls, the segments differing in shape and size. Morphologically, our plant was a Holboellia, with a perianth of six free segments (called perianth-segments here), in two whorls, but the segments of each whorl very similar to each other in size, shape and colour. There are also six nectaries, which- in the male flowers are small bright green viscid swellings at the base of the stamens; in the female flowers these look like sterile anthers, but are derived from petals. Using the monograph by Qin (1997) and a recent article on Holboellia in cultivation by Shaw (2009), it was clear that the plant, with its smooth stems, 5 7 leaflets per leaf and anthers shorter than the filaments, belonged to H. angustifolia, and in particular to the type-subspecies angustifolia, whichhasleafletsmorethantwiceaslong as wide. In the circumscription of H. angustifolia adopted by Qin and Shaw, the species has a wide distribution, extending from Nepal and along the Himalaya to western China. Earlier, Chinese plants were recognised as H. fargesii Réauborg, but it is now accepted that these do not differ in any significant details from the Himalayan plants. According to the revision by Christenhusz published in this volume, the genera Holboellia and Stauntonia are better united (see discussion on p. 240 above) and this species becomes Stauntonia angustifolia. In addition to Holboellia fargesii, H. acuminata Lindl., H. marmorata Hand.- Mazz., var. obtusa and var. bracteata Gagnep., of H. latifolia and Stauntonia longipes Hemsl., are all synonyms of Stauntonia angustifolia. Cultivation. The plant is generally easy to grow, rapidly climbing over stumps, buildings and unsightly areas; it can tolerate full sun in Britain, but perhaps semi-shade is more suitable. It seems to flower irregularly, but what controls this is not known. Propagation is by seed (fruits have not been seen in Britain), or by layering. Attempts to propagate it by cuttings have so far been unsuccessful. The plant from which the plate was painted was collected by Kirkham, Flanagan, Howick & McNamara, Expedition to Sichuan (SICH 1755,) - as Stauntonia hexaphylla, on September 21, 1996; China, Sichuan, Nanjiang County, 15 km east of Daba Forest Farm, 1665 m, 316 The Board of Trustees of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew 2012.
