what shrub is this?
Photographed last week at the University of Liverpool Botanic Gardens.
At a distant glance it looks like a Rhododendron, but when you get closer it's clearly far distant from a Rhododendron. I think that it's rosaceous, and probably belongs to subfamily Maloideae. It reminds me a little of Raphiolepis (seen at Birmingham Botanic Gardens). http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Shrub01.jpg http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Shrub02.jpg http://www.stewart.hinsley.me.uk/Images/Shrub03.jpg -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |

Difficult to be absolutely certain, but it looks very like Raphiolepis
umbellata to me. I can never understand why these 'Indian Hawthorns' have never quite caught on UK gardens. They are tough, resilient evergreens with attractive flowers, foliage and berries. Very few grow much more than shoulder height and once planted they don't need masses of attention. Ideal for small gardens, low hedges etc. |

They are tough, resilient evergreens with attractive flowers, foliage and berries. Very few grow much more than shoulder height and once planted they don't need masses of attention. Ideal for small gardens, low hedges etc. I agree that it looks very like, but having checked Flora of China (URL:http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=128270) there appears to be a botanical detail which contradicts this identification. The flowers of Rhapiolepis have 2 or less commonly 3 styles (2 in R. umbellata); the flowers of this shrub have 4. For a comparison see http://kaihu3.blog5.fc2.com/blog-entry-156.html http://blog5.fc2.com/k/kaihu3/file/0...mbellata-1.jpg Another point is that the leaves appeared to have a brown indumentum on the undersides (contributing to the appearance of a Rhododendron at a distant glance). On this ground I briefly considered Rhaphiolepis ferruginea. It's not Eriobotrya japonica, but I wonder if it's one of the other loquats. -- Stewart Robert Hinsley |
