Rhodotypos (Greek, rhodon, rose, and typos, type; alluding to the
resemblance of the flowers to those of a single rose). Rosaceae.
Ornamental shrub, grown chiefly for its large white flowers and for the
handsome bright green foliage. Leaves deciduous, opposite, stipulate,
short-petioled, serrate: fls. solitary, short - pedicelled; sepals
large, half as long as petals, outside with 4 small alternate bracts;
petals 4, orbicular; stamens numerous; carpels usually 4, developing
into black dry 1-seeded drupes, surrounded by the large persistent
calyx.—One species in Japan. A handsome and distinct shrub, hardy as
far north as Mass., with bright green foliage, conspicuous by its white
fls. in spring and by its shining black fr. in autumn and winter. It
thrives well in any good soil. Prop, by seeds and by greenwood cuttings
under glass early in summer; also by hardwood cuttings.
