Abeliophyllum distichum Nakai is a widely cultivated hardy shrub favoured for it's attractive sprays of scented white flowers in late February and early March.
The study indicated that this species is declining in the wild and requires urgent management to reinstate regeneration in the surviving wild populations and to establish new wild populations.
Abeliophyllum is a monotypic genus closely allied to Forsythia but differing in having flattened broadly winged fruits in contrast with the capsular fruits of Forsythia.
Recently, due to the plant centre being extended, the shrub was lifted with great care and re-planted in the south facing border running alongside the plant centre, to the right of the gardens entrance.
Abeliophyllum is close to extinction and qualifies for the IUCN Category of 'Critically Endangered', indicating a high risk of extinction in the near future.
Abeliophyllum distichum is easy to grow in average, medium wet, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade.
