Rostrinucula dependens

Rostrinucula dependens DJHC.0644B

Rostrinucula dependens is a member of one of the most successful plant families, the Lamiaceae (see that distribution map for the family!) or Labiatae. However, Rostrinucula itself is uncommon – it is a genus with only two species, both endemic to China. Only available in cultivation during recent years, the plant has no commonly used name, though UBC proposes a couple in its interpretative sign for its plant.
