Wharton, P. 2007. Carrierea calycina, the goat horn tree - a two part account of its history in western cultivation and recent reintroduction Davidsonia 18(2):56-73

Carrierea calycina, a tree in the Flacourtiaceae, was collected by the plant explorer, E. H. Wilson, in 1908 and introduced to the United Kingdom from seed obtained in western Sichuan (Mupin). The plants were raised in the U.K. by Messers. Veitch and Sons, and distributed in 1912 as part of their closing sale…It seemed that the only surviving specimen in the British Isles was at Birr Castle in Eire, but a second was later found at Rowallane in Northern Ireland. I reintroduced this tree to cultivation some 20 years after I was employed as curator of the David C. Lam Asian Garden at the University of British Columbia (UBC) Botanical Garden.
