Nothotsuga longibracteata Podophyllum Hydrosme rivieri) This unusual(aka: Tsuga longibracteata) Nothotsuga longibracteata is a little known, but stunningly beautiful Chinese conifer that hails from several of the southern provinces, where they grow on acidic soils at elevations between 1,000' and 7,000'. Sadly, they are now endangered due to excessive logging. Originally thought to be a hemlock, then a hybrid between Tsuga and Keteleeria, they have now been given their own genus.
