Fortunearia (after Robert Fortune, who traveled during the years 1843-61 in China and Japan and introduced a large number of highly ornamental plants). Hamamelidaceae. Ornamental shrub, grown for its handsome foliage. Stellate-pubescent: lvs. deciduous, alternate, serrate, with small caducous stipules: fls. small, short-pedicelled, in terminal racemes; calyx turbinate with 5 short lobes; petals 5, subulate, slightly shorter than sepals; stamens 5, with short filaments; ovary partly superior with 2 filiform revolute styles: fr. a dehiscent woody caps., separating into 2 valves bifid at the apex; seeds glossy, dark brown; embryo with large cotyledons revolute at the margin.—One species in Cent. China. Very similar in habit and foliage to Sinowilsonia, but the fls. and the embryo are very different. In general appearance it suggests the hazel; fls. and frs. insignificant. Has proved hardy at the Arnold Arboretum. Prop, is by seeds and possibly by grafting on Hamamelis. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
