Fragrant large trumpet-shaped white flowers in late spring to early summer and shiny foliage with a robust growth habit. Among the hardiest of the members of subsection Maddenia and much easier to grown than most of its close relatives. These are grown from seed collected wild in a newly explored region in the Eastern Himalaya.

An extremely widespread and variable species that eventually forms a very large tree in its native habitats ranging from the Himalaya through China and into Malaysia and Indonesia. Some botanists have separated out several different species from throughout this huge range, whereas others have “lumped” them all into this single variable species. The trees also feature stunning smooth and peeling bark. The variable large and showy pink, lilac or white flowers are fragrant, appearing in early spring. This collection represents the “typical” form with large and pink to lavender flowers. Grown from seed collected in the wild. Very ornamental and rarely offered.

Exquisite, dwarf shrubs related to edgeworthii. These have very attractive, densely furry leaves around one to two inches in length. The small white flattened flowers are not particularly showy, but this is an outstanding foliage plant. Very slow growing and requires excellent drainage in a raised bed or old stump. Also does well in a hanging basket. One of the most distinct species in terms of its stunning foliage. This was collected at 13,000 ft. in the eastern Himalaya. Quite high in elevation for this species.
A fine, dwarf and relatively hardy species with smooth and peeling brown bark. Small flattened bell-shaped yellow to deep yellow flowers in early spring. Easy with good drainage and small enough for a container.
A close relative of lindleyi and dalhousiae with similar huge “lily-like” trumpet-shaped flowers. Pure white and very fragrant flowers in this species. Glossy green foliage and a vigorous habit. Epiphytic in the wild, this species requires excellent drainage and fine in a container. These are grown from hand-pollinated seed produced from plants grown from the only reintroduction of this rare species in the modern era.
Large and vigorous evergreen shrubs with smooth and shiny reddish-brown bark. The large fragrant flowers are white, often with a yellow blotch and typically frilled or wavy along the outer part of the lobes. Quite variable in terms of blooming season and requiring excellent drainage. Magnificent large white flowers with an orange-yellow blotch on this 1962 FCC clone that flowers in early spring.
