Astilbe
''Astilbe'' is a genus of 18 species of rhizomatous flowering plants within the family Saxifragaceae, native to mountain ravines and woodlands in Asia and North America. Some species are known by the common names false goat's beard and false spirea. These hardy herbaceous perennials are cultivated by gardeners for their large, handsome, often fern-like foliage and dense, feathery plumes of flowers. They are widely adapted to shade and water-logged conditions, hence they are particularly associated with pond-side planting. They also tolerate clay soils well. Numerous hybrid cultivars have been raised. Flowers of at least some ''Astilbe'' species have a strong and pleasant aroma. Some species, including '' Astilbe rivularis'', are used in traditional medicine. Species Species of ''Astilbe'' include: *'' Astilbe biternata'' (Vent.) Britton ex Kearney – Appalachian false goat's beard *''Astilbe chinensis'' (Maxim.) Franch. & Sav. *''Astilbe crispa'' (Arends) Bergmans *'' Astilbe ...

Astilbe Chinensis
''Astilbe chinensis'', commonly known as false goat's beard, tall false-buck's-beard or Chinese astilbe, is a plant in the saxifrage family, Saxifragaceae. It is a perennial herb that grows near shaded streams and rivers. It is also commonly grown in shade gardens. Taxonomy The binomial name of Chinese astilbe is ''Astilbe chinensis''. The genus name, ''Astilbe'', from the Greek words for "without" and "brightness", refers to the dullness of leaves of some species, while the specific epithet refers to the plant's Chinese origin. Chinese astilbe was originally described as ''Hoteia chinensis'' by C. J. Maximowiez in 1859. In 1875, Adrien René Franchet and Ludovic Savatier transferred it to the genus ''Astilbe''. Whether ''A. chinensis'' and ''A. rubra'' were distinct species or synonyms was a controversial issue for botanists throughout the 20th century, with current consensus favoring the latter interpretation. The plant once known as ''Astilbe davidii'' (Franch.) is today ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
