Myricaria Germanica

Myricaria Germanica - Nearly allied to Tamarix, and often figures in nursery catalogues under the latter name. It differs in having ten stamens to each flower. The branches are erect, rather sturdier than in the true Tamarisks, and the leaves are of a pale glaucous hue, the flowers white or rosy in June. It is a native of various parts of Europe and Asia.—W. J. B.
