Patrinia
Patrinia is a genus of herbaceous plants in the honeysuckle family (Caprifoliaceae).[1] There are about 17 species[1] native to grassy mountain habitats in China, Siberia and Japan. These are unassuming clump-forming perennial plants having thin, erect stems with few leaves and bearing a terminal inflorescence with yellow or white flowers. The use for this plant is to provide a flower through long hot summers.
