One of our new introductions from the forests of northern Taiwan. A tuberous rooted perennial, growing into a sizeable tufted clump, of long strap-shaped rich dark glossy-green leaves, bearing a long spike of grey-green intriguingly scented flowers in spring, followed by elliptic red berries. Well drained shade with adequate moisture when growing. Syn. R. watanabei.
