Evolution
''A. hupehensis'' is native to central China, though it has been naturalised in Japan for hundreds of years.The species was first named and described in ''Flora Japonica'' , by Carl Thunberg. Thunberg had collected dried specimens while working as a doctor for the Dutch East Indies Company. In 1844, Robert Fortune brought the plant to England from China, where he found it often planted about graves.
