Acanthopanax

Acanthopanax - A. ricinifolium is the most striking of the shrubby Araliads, hardy in England. Curious and picturesque in form, these are not of proved garden value. Professor Rein, of the University of Bonn, mentions trees 90 feet high, with stem 9 to 12 feet in circumference in the forests of Yezo, the great northern island of Japan. A. sessiliflorum is a native of China and Japan. It has wrinkled, dark green leaves of three to five leaflets, the mid-ribs having a few scattered bristles. A. spinosum.—A shrub with leaves divided into segments. They are both hardy in sheltered positions. A. palmatum atro-sanguineum, with very rich crimson foliage, and pinnatifidum, in which the leaves are much divided, are the finest of the Japanese kinds. A. Henryi is a Chinese kind worth growing for its fruit effect in autumn. The plants should not be grafted.
