Chimonanthus praecox
''Chimonanthus praecox'', also known as wintersweet or Japanese allspice, is a species of flowering plant in the genus ''Chimonanthus'' of the family Calycanthaceae, native to China. The plant is known as in Japanese and ''làméi'' in Chinese.
It is a vigorous deciduous shrub growing to tall with an erect trunk and leaves long and broad. Its strongly scented pendent flowers, produced in winter (between November and March in UK,) on bare stems, have 15-21 yellow or pale green-yellow, tepals, the inner ones usually with purplish red pigments.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=2&taxon_id=200008496 )〕
This plant is cultivated in gardens, producing valued flower colour in the dormant season. The varieties ''C. praecox'' 'Grandiflorus'〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=2313 )〕 and ''C. praecox'' 'Luteus'〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://apps.rhs.org.uk/plantselector/plant?plantid=419 )〕 have gained the Royal Horticultural Society's Award of Garden Merit.
The plant is unrelated to allspice (Jamaica pepper), and not only is it not edible, but its seeds contains a toxic alkaloid called calycanthine.〔http://www.european-trees.com/wintersweet.html〕 However, an oil prepared from the flowers is used in traditional Chinese medicine.
