The figures given will enable the reader to separate these two herbs from each other as well as to separate both from the true Spi- reas. The Aruncus is a dioecious plant, the stamens are in the flowers of one plant and the pistils are on a separate plant. There are many stamens in the staminate plant of Arunous; the Astilbe flowers always have both stamens and pistils, and the stamens are only ten in number. [Both Astilbe and Arunous are best propagated by divisions.].
