Agdestis clemtides, Moc. & Sesse. Lvs. alternate, petiolate, cordate: fls. axillary or in terminal, branched, racemose cymes, white, star-shaped; sepals 4; petals 0.—Grows 40-50 ft. in one season and is covered in Sept. with masses of small white blossoms in dense racemes; very sweet-scented. The red sts. come from a tuber which grows half out of the earth, and which is sometimes 100 and 150 lbs. in weight. These tubers look like solid rocks. They are of a gray granite-color. To do its best, this plant requires very rich soil and an abundance of moisture. Small offsets appear in quantities around the old tubers and furnish good material for prop. On account of its ill-smelling foliage, the agdestis cannot be recommended for veranda decoration; but it is a fine plant for covering unsightly objects and outhouses; to be looked for in extreme South.
