For this reason, we started our on-line Aspidistra study gallery. Although it's not complete yet, it will eventually contain images of our entire collection of 105 Aspidistra species and cultivars. We are fortunate to work with several European taxonomists, most notably Dr. H..J. Tillich, who are assisting us in naming new species at an amazing rate.
