Branching shrub, 2-5 ft. high, with bright or dark red-brown glabrous twigs: lvs. broadly oval to obovate or oblong, usually coarsely and often doubly serrate, 1 1/2 - 3 in. long: fls. white, larger than those of S. alba, sometimes slightly blushed and with the stamens and disk more or less pinkish; —panicles quite glabrous, broadly pyramidal, with spreading and elongated ramifications; stamens longer than petals. June-Aug. Newfoundland and Canada to N. C. Em. 2:485. G.C. III. 43:417.—This and the preceding species have been referred by most American botanists to S. salicifolia. S. alba is chiefly found west, S. latifolia east of and on the Alleghanies, while the true S. salicifolia is an Old-World species. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
