Raised from seeds sent from Kamtschatka, in 1826. a S. s 6 taimca. S. taurica Hort.—An upright shrub, 8 ft. to 10 ft. high, tolerably distinct, and coming into flower- before any other variety. Hort. Soc. Garden. Other Varieties or Synonymes. The following kinds, in Messrs. Loddiges's collection and in that of the Hort. Soc, are either varieties of, or identical with, S. saUcifolia : — S. canadensis, S. «rticaef61ia, S. laciniata, S. chamaedri- foha, 5. lanceolata, S. carpinifolia, 5'. reflexa, S. incarnata. This species sends up numerous straight rod-hke stems, and these and the lateral branches terminate in large, conical, spiked panicles, of pale red, or flesh-coloured, flowers. In deep moist soils, a sucker will attain the height of 4 ft. in one season, and flower. These suckers are produced in such abun- dance, that, in order to keep the shrub in a vigorous state, they ought to be cut down when they have flowered two years, in the same manner as is practised with raspberries; and the entire plant ought also to be taken up every three or four years, and sejmrated; otherwise the old shoots are apt to die, and render the bush unsightly.
