Chionanthus virginica, Linn. Fig. 920. Large shrub or slender tree, to 30 ft.: lvs. oval or oblong, acuminate, pubescent beneath when young, mostly glabrous at length, 4-8 in. long: panicles 4-6 in. long, pendulous; fls. functionally dioecious; petals 1 in. long: fr. dark blue, ovoid, ¾in.long. May, June. From Pa. to Fla. and Texas. L.B. C. 13 : 1264. Gt. 16 :564. Mn. 2 : 154. G. F. 7 : 325. A.G. 22:362. F.E. 29:733. Gng. 16:306. G.M. 31:527. V. 10:227. G.W. 8, p. 293. M.D.G. 1899:412,413; 1900: 413; 1907:73, 337.—Variable in shape and pubescence of the lvs., and several varieties have been distinguished, but none of them sufficiently distinct for horticultural purposes. The staminate plants are showier in flower on account of their larger panicles and broader petals, but lack the attractive pendulous blue frs. in autumn. Root-bark tonic, febrifuge, laxative; reputed narcotic. CH
