| 説明 | Manor Nursery, Angmering, West Sussex.Edgeworthia (paper bush) is a genus of plants in the family Thymelaeaceae.The genus was named in honour of Michael Pakenham Edgeworth, an Irish-born botanist and official in the Bengal Civil Service, then stationed in India, and for his half-sister, writer Maria Edgeworth.At least one member of the genus, Edgeworthia chrysantha, has the extremely unusual ability to branch trichotomously - the apical meristem forming the end of each stem splits into three sections at once. This trait is shared with no other known flowering plant.Edgeworthia chrysantha is native to Myanmar and south-central and southeast China. It is naturalized in Japan. It grows in forests and shrubby slopes.The bark fibres of these plants are used for making the handmade Japanese tissue called "mitsumata paper". Along with kōzo and gampi, it is used for making traditional Japanese paper (washi). Among other applications, mitsumata is used for banknotes as the paper is very durable. In China, flowers, roots and bark are used in traditional medicine. In Korea, the handmade paper is called " hanji" or Korean paper.It is a deciduous shrub. Flowers are yellow, have a sweet scent, and in clusters at the branch tips. The flowering period extends from February to April. |
