Sibiraea (named for the habitat of the plant, Siberia). Rosaceae, subfam. Spiraeeae. Two shrubs from N. E. Asia and W. China closely allied to Spiraea, but differing in the narrow entire lvs., the polygamo-dioecious fls. disposed in panicled racemes and in the 2-seeded carpels connate at the base. S. laevigata is a deciduous upright shrub with rather stout branches, with alternate, entire, generally oblong lvs. and with small short-stalked white fls. in spike-like racemes crowded into terminal panicles. It possesses no particular ornamental qualities and is rarely cult.: hardy N. The hardiness of the recently intro. S. tomentosa has not been sufficiently tested. Prop. is by seeds sown in spring or by layers. S. laevigata, Maxim. (S. altaiensis, Schneid. Spiraea laevigata, Linn.). Shrub, 5 ft. high, with stout upright branches: lvs. cuneate-oblong, bluish green, glabrous, 1 1/2 – 3 1/2 in. long: fls. polygamous, greenish white, in terminal panicles, 3-5 in. long, those of the staminate plant somewhat showier. May. Siberia. G.O.H. 89. Var. angustata, Rehd. Lvs. narrow-lanceolate, 1-4 in. long and rarely more than 1/2 in. broad: infl. pubescent. W. China. Var. croatica, Schneid., from S. E. Eu., is similar to the preceding variety, but the lvs. are obtuse and the infl. not pubescent. It is not yet intro. S. tomentosa, Diels. Low shrub, to 2 ft.: lvs. oblong-obovate to oblanceolate, acutish and mucronulate, with silky silvery white tomentum beneath while young, glabrous above, 2-3 in. long: fls. greenish yellow in dense panicles about 2 in. long. S. W. China.
