Summary

Description
English: A single deep pink bract of Leycesteria formosa, the Pheasant Berry, (family: Caprifoliaceae), greatly enlarged, showing network of wine-red veins. The richly-coloured bracts of this species, arranged in pendent strings or clusters and contrasting pleasingly with the small pale flowers, constitute the most attractive feature of this bird-propagated and sometimes invasive shrub, native to wet, rocky forests clothing the foothills of the Himalayas. This bract part of an infructescence borne by a large, mature specimen of this common garden shrub, growing in a moist, sheltered site in the extreme North of the English county of Northumberland.
