Kingdonia

provided by wikipedia EN
Kingdonia uniflora

Kingdonia uniflora is a species of perennial herb native to China. The plants have one leaf and a 100-millimetre (4-inch) flower stalk with a 8 mm (38 in) flower.[1]

It grows at high elevations in West and North China.[1] Most of the plants are found in western Yunnan. It is an endangered species.

Classification

Kingdonia is sometimes classified as the only genus in the family Kingdoniaceae[2] or as a member of the family Circaeasteraceae along with Circaeaster agrestis, specifically in the APG III system of classification.[3][4] Other sources may classify Kingdonia in the buttercup family, Ranunculaceae.[1] In any case it is in the order Ranunculales.
