Stephanandra incisa, Zabel (S. flexuosa, Sieb. & Zucc.). Fig. 3688. Shrub, to 8 ft. high, but usually lower, almost glabrous, with angular spreading distinctly zigzag branches: lvs. triangular-ovate, cordate or truncate at the base, long-acuminate, incisely lobed and serrate, the lower incisions often almost to the midrib, pubescent only on the veins beneath and grayish green, 3/4 – 1 1/2 in. long: fls. white, about 1/6 in. across, in terminal, short, 8-12-fld., usually panicled racemes; stamens 10. June. Japan, Korea. Gn. 55, p. 141.—"Closely allied to Spiraea and has the spirea style of beauty. It has long, slender branches which are densely and regularly interwoven in a fan-like manner. Its habit of growth is fountain-like, the branches being gracefully pendent. Its fls. are snowy white and, although minute, are so numerous that the plant becomes very showy. It is especially fitted for the back of herbaceous borders or for the front of larger shrubs. Its foliage, which is deeply toothed, is tinted red in early spring and deep glossy green during spring and summer. In the autumn it puts on unusual tints of reddish purple. The foliage becomes so dense that the growth of weeds beneath its thickly set branches is effectually prevented. Prop. by cuttings and layers."
