North America, 1748. This is a handsome species from the Virginian swamps, but one that is rarely seen in a very satisfactory condition in England. It grows about 18 inches high, with lanceolate dull-green leaves, and pretty pinky-white flowers, individually large and produced abundantly. For the banks of a pond or lake it is a capital shrub and very effective, particularly if massed in groups of from a dozen to twenty plants in each.
There are several nursery forms, of which A. calyculata
minor is the best and most distinct.
