Spiraea expansa, Koch (S. bella var. expansa, Regel. S. fastigiata, Wall.). Closely allied to the foregoing; more vigorous and upright, 6 ft. high, with terete branches tomentose when young: lvs. ovate to ovate-oblong, acute at both ends, sharply serrate from the middle, usually pubescent on the veins beneath, 1 1/2- 3 in. long: fls. white, 1/4 in. across, in l-4-in.-broad corymbs terminal on upright, often very long branches: follicles pubescent, diverging. July. Himalayas.—S. pulchella, Kunze (S. kumaonensis, Hort.), is supposed to be a hybrid of this and the foregoing species; it combines the broader corymbs of the latter with the brighter color of the first species, therefore handsomer than either parent; sometimes cult. as S. expansa rubra, but there is also another hybrid of the same name. See S. rubra in suppl. list. CH
