DEUTZIA 



487 



ovate ; style rather longer than the stamens, whose wings taper towards the 

 anthers ; calyx felted, the lobes broadly triangular, persistent. Flower-stalks 

 rough with bristles and stellate down. 



Native of Japan ; and an elegant although not showy shrub. In regard to 

 nomenclature, it is much confused with D. scabra, Thunbcrg, and has even 

 been called "scabra vcra." The confusion appears to have originated with 

 Siebold and Zuccarini in 1835. It is a much smaller shrub than D. scabra 

 (the common Deutzia of gardens), differing in the shape of the inflorescence, 

 in having persistent calyx-lobes, and in the tapered wings of the stamens. 



DEUTZIA SIEBOLDIANA. 



D. STAMIXEA, R. Brown. 



\ deciduous shrub, 4 to 5 ft. high ; shoots rough when young with starlike 

 scales. Leaves ovate, with long slender points, and a rounded or tapered 

 base, unequally toothed ; dull green and rough above, grey beneath, and 

 thickly covered with minute starry scales ; I to 2^ ins. long, \ to i-J- ins. wide. 

 Flowers in short racemes or corymbs 2 ins. wfde ; petals ~f to "| in. long, 

 downy ; wings of stamens toothed ; calyx grey with stellate scales, its lobes 

 narrow, pointed. 



Native of the Himalaya ; tender in this country. At Kew it is cut down 

 to the ground almost ever}' year, and its flowers consequently are not often 

 seen. The fonn in cultivation, sometimes grown as canescens or Brunoniana, 

 has more broadly ovate, longer-pointed leaves than are typical.
