Spiraea cantoniensis, Lour. (S. Reevesiana, Lindl. S. lanceolata, Poir. S. corymbosa, Roxbg.). Shrub, 4 ft. high, with slender, arching branches: lvs. rhombic-lanceolate, incisely doubly serrate, dark green above, pale bluish green beneath, 1-2 1/2 in. long: fls. over 1/3 in. across, in rather dense umbels; sepals upright in fr.: follicles with spreading styles. May, June. China, Japan.—Very handsome shrub, with large pure white fls., but only half-hardy N. Var. lanceata, Zabel (S. Reevesiana flore-pleno, Hort.), with double fls. and narrower lvs. is still more tender. This species and the three foregoing are valuable also for their handsome foliage, which remains fresh and green until late in fall. CH
