Dichroa (Greek, dis, two, and chros, color). Syn. Adamia. Saxifragaceae. Rare greenhouse shrub in habit resembling a Hydrangea, with violet-blue fls. in a pyramidal panicle a foot across, and handsome blue berries. Lvs. persistent, opposite, stalked, narrow, tapering both ways, serrate: panicles terminal, many- fld.; fls. blue, lilac, or violet; petals 5 or 6, valvate; styles 3-5, club-shaped: seeds numerous, small. The genus has only 1 species, in the Himalayas, Malaya, and China. It is sometimes considered to be bitypic, but the other species, D. pubescens, Miq., is considered by Koorders (Exkursionoflora von Java) to be probably a true Hydrangea.
