Description
Beesia are a genus of evergreen perennial flowering plants. Their Latin name, Beesia, derives from a nursery called Bees of Chester who financed a trip to China where the plant is native. They are often kept as ornamental plants in gardens of partial shade and may appeal to gardeners for their heart-shaped leaves. 
Species of Beesia
Ginger-leaf false bugbane
Ginger-leaf false bugbane produces tiny white flowers with many relatively long stamens. The flowers, however, are dwarfed by the plant's much larger evergreen leaves. It needs shade and damp soil to grow properly. Though it's a perennial, everything above the ground dies back in the winter.
Beesia
Beesia (Beesia deltophylla) is a popular ornamental plant that is low maintenance and makes for a great groundcover. It is a shade-loving plant that makes a good addition to woodland gardens and shady borders. The specific epithet, deltophylla, translates to "triangle-leaved," referring to the shape of the foliage.
