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 The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
