Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Paeonia emodi, also known as Himalayan peony, is a robust herbaceous perennial plant that belongs to the Paeoniaceae family. It has large white flowers and deeply incised leaves, and is native to the Himalayan region. It is a diploid species resulting from hybridization between P. lactiflora and P. mairei. The plant is tall and can reach up to 1.5 meters in height, with stems that carry multiple buds and flowers. It is similar to P. sterniana, but can be distinguished by its taller height, hairless stems, and fewer carpels per flower. P. emodi is used in traditional medicine for various ailments and contains chemical compounds with medicinal properties. It is also cultivated as an ornamental plant, with the popular hybrid 'White Innocence' being a cross between P. emodi and P. lactiflora.
