Edgeworthia gardneri (common names: Indian papertree,[2] Nepalese paperbush;[2]Nepali: अर्गेली (Argelee))[3] is a plant in the Thymelaeaceae family. It is a small evergreen shrub growing up to 3–4 metres (10–13 ft) tall.[4] It can be distinguished by its brownish red stem. The flowers are hermaphrodite (they have both male and female organs).
Edgeworthia gardneri is native to the Himalayan regions of Bhutan; northern Burma; China (in eastern Xizang and northwestern Yunnan provinces); India; and Nepal.[2] It is found in forests and moist places at altitudes of 1,000–2,500 m (3,300–8,200 ft).[4]
Edgeworthia gardneri is planted as an ornamental; and a high quality paper is made from its bark fibres.[2] This species is said to be the best of the various species that are used to make hand-made paper in the Himalayas.[citation needed]
