Paeonia decomposita is a deciduous shrub in the peony family. [1] It is an endangered species, native to North-West Sichuan.

Description

Paeonia decomposita is a little-known tree peony, which grows to a height of up to 1.8 m (5 ft 11 in). [1] Stems grow up to 2 cm (0.79 in) in diameter. [1] Bark is dark grey, with a tendency to peel or flake. Flowers grow singly at the ends of the stems, and are large and usually rose-pink in colour.[ citation needed] Follicles are dark brown or black when mature, with glossy black seeds. [2] The shrub flowers from April to May in China. [3]

Habitat

Paeonia decomposita grows primarily in young forest land, scrubland and on rocky cliffsides at altitudes of up to 2,050 to 3,100 m (6,730 to 10,170 ft). [1]

Medicinal usage

It is used in traditional Chinese medicine, where it is used to improve circulation and blood stasis.[ citation needed] Its oil is used in cosmetics and medicines. [4]
