Skimmia Flowering Shrub
Skimmia Flowering Shrub
Skimmia Fortunei Flowering Shrub
Japan, 1845. This is a neat-growing shrub, with glossy, laurel-like leaves, white or greenish-white flowers, and an abundance of scarlet berries in autumn. It succeeds best in a somewhat shady situation, and when planted in not too heavy peaty soil, but where abundance of not stagnant moisture is present.
Skimmia Japonica Flowering Shrub
Japan, 1864. A neat-growing, evergreen shrub, with rather larger and more showy leaves than the former, and spikes of pretty whitish, sweetly scented flowers. The female form of this is usually known as Skimmia fragrans. What is usually known as Skimmia oblata ovata, and Skimmia oblata Veitchii, are only forms of the true Skimmia japonica; while Skimmia fragrantissima is the male of the same species.
The beautiful, berried plant that has been exhibited under the name of Skimmia Foremanii, and which is of very vigorous growth, and produces pyramidal spikes of sweetly scented flowers, is probably Skimmia japonica, or a seminal variety. Another variety sent out under the name of Skimmia macrophylla has unusually large leaves; and another named Skimmia Rogersi produces fruit very abundantly.
Skimmia Laureola Flowering Shrub
From the Himalayas, is an uncommon species, with very fragrant and pale yellow flowers.
Skimmia Rubella Flowering Shrub
Another member of the family that has
greenish-white, sweet-scented flowers, and which when better known will
be largely planted.
