Flower-stalks and calyx denselycovered with short hairs and starr> scales. 484 DEUTZIA Native of Hupch, China ; discovered by Wilson, and introduced by himin 1901. It is very distinct from the older Deutzias in the thick downbeneath the leaves, and in the tapering filaments. It flowers in June, buthas not yet made a great Dbutzia mollis. D. PARVIFLORA, Bunge. A shrub of erect habit up to 6 ft. high ; young wood smooth, pale brown ;bark peeling the second year. Leaves ovate-lanceolate or ovate, with ausually short, slender point, tapered at the base, sharply toothed ; H to 4 , ^ to i| ins. wide; dull green and sprinkled over with minute starrydown above ; paler, glossy green, and almost smooth beneath. Flowerswhite, \ in. across, produced in corymbs 2 or 3 ins. across. Wings of stamensvariable, sometimes none, sometimes a proportion toothed. Native of China, Manchuria, and Corea, where it may be said to representD. corymbosa, to which species it is most nearly allied in botanical characters,hut distinct in its smaller leaves with more open teeth and fewer-rayed (four tonine) hairs. In low-lying districts it is of little value owing to its susceptibilityto injury by late frosts, but pretty in continental gardens, where it is notexcited so early into
