Mr. Loudon in his Arboretum Britannicum must have 

 been speaking of some other species, when he ascribes to 

 this plant shoots from six to eight feet long in one season,

 doubt some plant under the name of P. hirsutus produced 

 such shoots ; but it is not safe to trust to garden names in 

 these cases.
