Description

Hamamelis x intermedia Rehder Hamamelidaceae Garden hybrid between H. japonica and H. mollis. Witch hazel. 'Jelena' named for the wife of Robert de Belder of Arboretum Kalmthout, Belgium, whose family raised many Hamamelis cultivars. Distribution: H. japonica comes from Japan, H. mollis from China. The bark and leaves are the source of witch hazel for bruises, haemorrhoids, varicose veins, and other skin conditions, although commercially H. virginiana is the usual source. It is produced by stem distillation of the twigs. Photographed in the Medicinal Garden of the Royal College of Physicians, London.
