A nearly evergreen rosaceous shrub of peculiar and attractive habit of growth. Fls. white, early, followed by the long, plumose achenes, which are 3-5 in. long, strangely curled and twisted, arranged above and on each side of the slender branches, so that at a little distance they have an appearance suggestive of ostrich plumes. Easily transplanted, and thrives anywhere." ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
