Asparagus cooperi, Baker. Roots long, cylindric, more or less fleshy: sts. large, up to ¾ in. diam. and 60 or more ft. long, branching above; main sts. and branches dark green, with a soft, very short pubescence : cladodes very dark green, ¼-½ in. long, 5-12 in a cluster, much stouter than in A. plumosus: final branches with twigs and cladodes making beautiful pinnate fern-like sprays ft. long: lf .-scale swollen at base, red-brown, with a strong spine: fls. small, white, bell-shaped, sweet- scented: berry about ¼ in. diam., red. S. Afr. G.Z. 21: 568, 569. — This species is probably the largest one in the genus, its long vines covered with beautiful dark green sprays making a very desirable cover for pillars. The side sprays are valuable for cut-green for florists' use and, when removed, a second crop will appear shortly on the old vines.
