(Dove Tree) A medium-sized tree still considered rare. 

'To my mind Davidia involucrata is at once the most interesting and beautiful of all trees of the north-temperate flora…

The flowers and their attendant bracts are pendulous on fairly long stalks, and when stirred by the slightest breeze they resemble huge Butterflies hovering amongst the trees.'
