''Mahonia'' × ''media'' is an interspecific hybrid shrub. Its parents are ''Mahonia lomariifolia'' and ''Mahonia japonica''. It was raised in gardens during the 20th century, and has become an important garden and landscape plant. ==Description== The hybrids show some variation, but are generally intermediate in most characteristics between the two parents. The following description is of the clone Charity. The plants have an upright form, becoming bare at the base. There are between 7 and 11 pairs of leaflets, plus a terminal leaflet. The flowers are in somewhat spreading racemes, often as long as in ''M. japonica''. There is some scent to the flowers, but it is not as strong as in ''M. japonica''. Flowering goes on throughout the winter. Different clones may resemble one or the other parent more closely. It is possible that other species of ''Mahonia'' have contributed to the stock ascribed to this hybrid. ''Mahonia japonica "Bealei"'' is considered particularly likely to be one of these. Many clones have an upright architectural form derived from ''M. lomariifolia'', though some resemble the ''M. japonica'' parent rather more. Plants provide viable seed, and second generation hybrids have been raised. The plants are especially valued in the garden because of their ornamental leaves, and because they flower through the winter. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mahonia × media」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
