Wild Status

[edit]

'It is not known in the wild; all known plants come from cultivated groups in China.'

This is wrong. Even in Hong Kong there are still a few wild populations of this species: http://herbarium.gov.hk/FloraOfHK/Species/3175/3175_S_E.pdf See also Flora of China's entry: http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200027109 219.79.75.206 (talk) 16:45, 9 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Width

[edit]

"R. excelsa grows up to 4 m in height and 30 mm in diameter"

30mm in diameter?? Surely this can't be right. And if it only refers to individual leaflets (or whatever they're called) shouldn't it be mentioned elsewhere rather than in a sentence that commences by referring to the total height of the entire plant? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 27.33.121.123 (talk) 07:40, 8 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
