beneath, entire or with a few low serrations in the upper half; 

 petioles 2 lines long; pedicels and peduncles pale and glaucous; 

 flowers about 2 lines broad, in terminal compound corymbs i to 3 

 in. across; calyx teeth 5, triangular, blunt, about the length of 

 the short-campanulate tube, distinctly glaucous; petals 5, white 

 ovate-orbicular, obtuse; stamens 15 to 20, persistent; styles 5 to 6; 

 follicles, in the specimens examined, 5 to 6, apparently sterile, 

 included in the persistent calyx." 



"On damp rocks along the Monongahela river, Morgantown, 

 West Virginia, collected by Dr. C. F. Millspaugh in flower, June 

 20, 1890, and in apparently imperfect fruit late in September, 

 Collected also by Mr. G. R. Vasey in the mountains of North 

 Carolina, 1878." 



"Spiraa betulcefolia, Pall, and S. corymbosa, Raf., have much 

 longer follicles exerted beyond the calyx; broader, thicker and 

 dentate leaves, and are different in habit. Rafinesque published 

 a number of species in his New Flora, but none of them can ap- 

 ply to this one."
