A newly discovered (2011) and described species (way to go Jens Nielsen!) from the Yunnan/Myanmar frontier, this may be most closely related to R. hanceanum which is known from far to the north in Sichuan. This does not appear to be a large-growing shrub having been recorded as reaching only one to two meters in the wild. The remarkable foliage is quite unlike any other species that I have seen. It emerges reddish-purple with the appearance of being coated with a dull wax. The deep green and shiny leaves are bright glaucous-white beneath. The small, white, funnel-shaped flowers (early spring) are strongly marked with red spots and splashes - quite striking!
