| + | Aesculus carnea, Hayne (AE. Hippocastanum X Pavia. A. rubicunda, Loisel., AE. intermedia, Andre). Tree, 20-40 ft.: lfts. mostly 5, nearly sessile, cuneate-obovate, crenate-serrate, nearly glabrous: panicles 5-8 in. long; fls. varying from flesh-color to scarlet: fr. with small prickles. Garden origin.—Common in parks and on roadsides. Handsome and desirable; the foliage is darker and of firmer texture than that of the preceding species and resists drought better. Many garden forms, according to the different shades in coloring; one of the best is var. Briotii, Nichols. (AE. rubicunda var. Briotii, Carr.), with bright scarlet fls. Also var. plantierensis, Rehd. (AE. plantiereinsis. Andre), with yellowish white fls. tinged with pink and fading to pink and with bluntly serrate lfts., is very handsome. |
