Description
 
A collection of this rare and usually epiphytic evergreen Solomon Seal from Vietnam by Aaron Floden.  This species has in the past been treated as a synonym of Polygonatum punctatum but Floden has determined it to be distinct and reinstated mengtzense as a valid species name.  We love this kind of stuff!  A small species less than a foot tall with small rounded white bells under the arching stem as the new shoot elongates and matures.  These are flowering size and hardy to zone 8 for sure and no doubt can handle dips into zone 7.  We have seen this in several areas in northern Vietnam and is always a treat to find.  Our plant of P. mengtzense var. tonkinense is very similar and has handled short dips to 10F with no damage to its evergreen leaves and expect the same for this one.
