Dipelta

Dipelta is a genus of three large, deciduous shrubs that are members of the family Caprifoliaceae. They are native to north-central and southern China, southeastern Tibet, and northern Myanmar, but have been cultivated widely as decorative garden plants. They have attractive peeling bark, bell-shaped flowers carried singly or in corymbs and fruit with papery bracts. They develop in a rounded shape and attain a height of about 3 - 4 m. The leaves are simple, oval to lance shaped and borne in opposite pairs.

Dipelta floribunda has gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
