About

Dipelta is a genus of three large, deciduous shrubs that are members of the family Caprifoliaceae. They are native to north-central and southern China, southeastern Tibet, and northern Myanmar, but have been cultivated widely as decorative garden plants. They have attractive peeling bark, bell-shaped flowers carried singly or in corymbs and fruit with papery bracts. They develop in a rounded shape and attain a height of about 3–4 metres (10–13 ft). The leaves are simple, oval to lance shaped and borne in opposite pairs.
