| History | This genus of the verbena family contains about 40 species native to Asia, South America and Australia. This species was named for French missionary, Emile Bodinier, who described plants in China during his residence from 1842 to 1901. It was first received in America by Alfred Rehder of the Arnold Arboretum. Callicarpa is derived from the Greek words for beauty and fruit. |
