ternately divided foliage and gracefully drooping racemes of 

 locket-like flowers of white and rose are not surpassed by any 



known plant. It is a native 

 of Siberia, but was introduced

 rosy pink flowers in Summer. 

 A native of North America. 

 D.formosa scarcely differs from 

 this species.

 has bright yellow flowers, ap-
