Like 1
but up to 4 m; leaves finely serrulate, densely white-tomentose when young; petals 4-10 mm; styles connate at base; apex of ovary lanate. 2/2 = 68. Cultivated for ornament and sometimes naturalized in N. Europe. [Fe Ga Ge N o Rs (C) Su.]
Formerly considered to be a garden hybrid between 1 and A. canadensis (L.) Medicus , but now considered to be conspecific with A. humilis Wieg. , from N.E. North America. A. canadensis (L.) Medicus , Gesch. Bot. 79 (1793) ( A. oblongifolia (Torrey & A. Gray) M. J. Roemer ), native of eastern U.S.A., is closely related to 2, but differs mainly in having the leaves usually oblong, and the apex of the ovary more or less glabrous. It is sometimes cultivated in gardens in N. and C. Europe, but its name has been frequently used for other species.
