Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Helwingia (after G. A. Helwing, 1666-1748, a German clergyman, who wrote on the botany of Prussia). Araliaceae. A curious deciduous shrub, remarkable for the reason that the small, inconspicuous greenish flowers are borne in clusters on the midribs of the leaves at about the center of their upper surfaces.

Flowers dioecious, short-pedicelled, with obsolete calyx, 3—5 petals and stamens and 3—4-celled ovary: fr. a berry-like, 3-4-eeeded drupe.—Two species in Japan and Himalayas. Of not much decorative value and therefore rarely cult., but interesting on account of the unusual position of the fls.; hardy as far north as Boston. It seems to grow in any soil that is somewhat moist. Prop, by greenwood cuttings under glass.
