Sparmannia (named for Andreas Sparmann, 1747-1787). Tiliaceae. Shrubs or trees, with soft stellate pubescence, grown in the greenhouse and also out-of-doors in the southern United States.

Leaves cordate, dentate, or lobed: fls. white, in terminal, umbelliform little cymes; sepals 4, petals 4, naked at the base; stamens numerous, free; ovary nearly 4-celled: caps. globose, spiny.—About 5 species, Afr.

Sparmannia africana is of easy treatment under glass in a moderate temperature with plenty of air and light. The plants are benefited by being plunged in the garden in the summer and syringed during dry weather. Plants should be potted early in spring. The tips of young shoots root readily with 60° of heat.
