For planting in poor, sandy or gravelly soils, or amongst stones and shingle, and where only a very limited number of shrubs could be got to grow, the Spanish Broom will be found an excellent and valuable plant. It is a native of Southern Europe, and is quite hardy all over the country. Propagated from seed. SPIRAEA BELLA. Pretty-flowered Spiraea. Himalayas, 1820.
It is a very desirable shrub for wall or lattice-work covering, against which it grows rapidly, and soon forms an object of great beauty by reason of its neat foliage and graceful habit, as also wealth of pretty flowers. E. ILLINATA. Chili, 1830. This should also be included, it being a handsome and pretty-flowered plant. E. MACRANTHA. Chiloe, 1848.
