{{Inc| Whipplea (in honor of Lieut. A. W. Whipple, commander of the surveying expedition to the Pacific Ocean in 1853-1854). Saxifragaceae. Two low shrubs in W. N. Amer. with small opposite nearly sessile lvs., 3-nerved and entire or sparingly dentate, appressed- hairy on both sides, and with small white fls. in terminal cymes: fls. 5- or rarely 6-merous; receptacle turbinate, adnate to the base of the ovary; sepals lanceolate; petals small, oblong-spatulate; stamens 10, rarely 12, with dilated lanceolate filaments and subglobose anthers; ovary half-superior or nearly superior, with 3-6 short styles: fr. a caps. separating into 3-6 1-seeded carpels. They are not hardy N. and rarely cult. in botanical collections only, as they possess no particular ornamental qualities. They are plants of dry regions and demand a well-drained soil; the best place for them is in a rockery. Prop. is by greenwood cuttings under glass and by seeds treated like those of deutzia or hydrangea. }} '''''Whipplea''''' is a monotypic genus containing the single species '''''Whipplea modesta''''', which is known by several common names including '''common whipplea''', '''yerba de selva''', and '''modesty'''. It is a [[dicot]] shrub or sub-shrub in the [[Hydrangeaceae]] family, native to the Pacific Coastal region of the United States. ''Whipplea'' appears to have been first recorded in 1853 by the Scottish botanical explorer [[John Jeffrey (botanist)|John Jeffrey]] in the [[Umpqua Valley]] near [[Mount Shasta]], [[California]], and named for Lieutenant [[Amiel Weeks Whipple]] (1817-1863), American surveyor and engineer. ==Cultivation==  ===Propagation===  ===Pests and diseases===  ==Species==  ==Gallery== {{photo-sources}} <gallery> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
