Species Description
Sedirea japonica “…is quite a novelty, being, as far as I am aware, the first of the genus from Japan, and consequently will prove a cool-house species. It has thick coriaceous leaves, and a raceme of moderate length; the flowers are of a greenish white, spotted with rose colour.
