ZENOBIA SPECIOSA (_syn Andromeda speciosa_ and _A.
cassinaefolia_).--South United States, 1800. This is a distinct and
pretty hardy species, a native of swampy low-lying districts. It grows
about four feet high, and bears pure white, bell-shaped,
Lily-of-the-Valley like flowers in great abundance during the summer. In
too dry situations it becomes sparse of foliage and unhappy, but grows
and flowers freely in light, peaty soil. Z. speciosa pulverulenta is a
very desirable variety, the whole plant, stems, foliage, and flowers,
being of a pleasing light gray or white colour. Individually the flowers
are larger than those of the species.
