Daphne bholua, commonly known as the Nepalese paper plant, is a deciduous shrub native to Nepal and the Himalayan region. The plant is highly valued for its fibrous inner bark, which is used to make traditional handmade paper. It produces clusters of fragrant, pale pink to white flowers in winter, adding beauty and fragrance to the landscape. It is well-suited to temperate climates and can be found growing in forests, valleys, and slopes at elevations ranging from 1500 to 3000 meters.
