Jim;

Good catch.  Yes, L. shaanxiensis is originally described as a species that produces foliage in late winter/early spring.  All of the material in the US, supplied by Chen Yi of China is the fall-foliaged hybrid L. x houdyshelii

In other words, is the true l. shaanxiensis a species which produces its foliage in late winter rather than in the fall? Or, were you making a distinction between late-summer flowering species (longituba and chinensis for instance) and fall-flowering species (e.g. radiata) ?
