Emeini Danxing
Mulan belongs to the Magnoliaceae Family, with the Latin
name of Parakmeria omeiensis. In China it's mainly distributed in regions of Emei Mountain in
Sichuan Province in the western area.
Emeini Danxing
Mulan is a sort of
large arbor, which can attain the height of up to about 20 meters. It usually
grows in broad-leaved evergreen forests 1,000-1,200 meters above sea level. The
bark is dark grey and the twigs are smooth. The leaves are slender oval or
obovarate and made of keratin. Male flowers and hermaphrodite flowers grow on
different individuals. The milky yellow male flower bears 12 tepals, with thin
elliptic outer rings and obovoid or spoon-shaped inner rings. The hermaphrodite
flower bears 8 to 12 pistils. The key distinction between Emeini Danxing Mulan and Yunnanni
Danxing Mulian is that the tepal of the leaf cycles of the former is
milky yellow.
