	~~Describe~~ the ~~plant here~~...		'''''Stewartia pseudocamellia''''' (also '''''Stuartia pseudocamellia'''''; '''Japanese Stewartia''' or '''Deciduous Camellia''', "summer camellia";<ref name="shinrin">[http://shinrin.cool.ne.jp/sub311.html natsutsubaki]</ref> [[Korean language\|Korean]]: "overripe cucumber tree"<ref name="korea">Korean Forest Research Institute: [http://www.kfri.go.kr/kor/forest/forestation/trees_14.aspx?topmenu=3&menu=3&submenu=1 Korean Stewartia].</ref>) is a plant species in the genus ''[[Stewartia]]'' in the [[family (biology)\|family]] [[Theaceae]], native to [[Japan]] (southern [[Honshū]], [[Kyūshū]], [[Shikoku]]) and [[Korea]]. It is a small to medium sized deciduous [[tree]], growing to 10-15 m (rarely to 18 m) tall<ref name="bean">Bean, W. J. (1980). ''Trees and Shrubs Hardy in the British Isles'' 4: 507-513. ISBN 0-7195-2428-8.</ref><ref name="rushforth">Rushforth, K. (1999). ''Collins Photographic Guide to Trees''. ISBN 0-00-220013-9.</ref> often with multiple [[Plant stem\|stem]]s and/or low branching [[trunk (botany)\|trunk]]s. The [[bark]] is smooth textured, exfoliating as the plants age, and has a camouflaged or mottled appearance with patterns of dull orange and green with grey mixed in. The trees are pyramidal to rounded in shape with deep green coloured foliage. Young stems have a zig-zag shape with flattened, divergent buds. The [[leaf\|leaves]] are 4-12 cm long and 2.5-5 cm broad, arranged alternately on the stems with an elliptical shape and finely serrated edges. In the fall the foliage turns yellow, red or purple. The [[flower]]s are up to 8 cm wide, with five white [[petal]]s with orange [[anther]]s; they are shaped like ''[[Camellia]]'' flowers, round and flat to somewhat cupped. They are produced in summer, generally in June until the end of August; each flower is short-lived, but many are produced that open over many weeks. The fruit is a brown [[capsule (fruit)\|capsule]], triangular in shape with four or five angles, persistent on the trees but not showy.<ref name="shinrin"/><ref name="korea"/><ref name="rushforth"/>

	==Cultivation==		==Cultivation==
			''S. pseudocamellia'' is an attractive [[ornamental tree]] that grows best in rich organic soils with good drainage and consistent moisture throughout the year. It is grown in full sun, but under hot and dry conditions it grows best in some light shade during the afternoon.<ref>http://books.google.com/books?id=CmKi3t5qZe4C&pg=PA379</ref> It is used as a specimen planting in shrub borders or as a specimen in lawn plantings, having year round interest. It can be temperamental to establish and younger trees transplant best.<ref>[http://www.hort.uconn.edu/plants/s/stepse/stepse1.html Stewartia pseudocamellia<!-- Bot generated title -->]</ref> When grown with single trunks they form taller more pyramidal shaped trees, when having multiple trunks plants tend to grow shorter and spread out wider. In the wild in Japan plants have been known to grow 18 m tall, and in cultivation it has already reached up to 15 m tall.<ref>Tree Register of the British Isles</ref> It was introduced into western cultivation in 1874, and has survived winters as cold as −30 °C<ref>Dirr, M.
