Spiraea hypoleuca Dunn

 
  • Family : ROSACEAE
    (Rose Family)
  • Family (Hindi name) : GULAB FAMILY (गुलाब फैमिली)
  • Family (as per The APG System III) : Rosaceae
  • Species Name (as per The IPNI) : Spiraea hypoleuca Dunn
  • Habit : Shrub
  • Habitat : Tropical evergreen forests, mixed forest, Juniper scrub, thickets, shady banks; 2100 - 4400 m. altitude
  • Comments / notes : Dunn described Spiraea diversifolia as differing from S. hypoleuca in its glabrous inflorescences and sterile branches with circular, palmatifid leaves. Very often herbarium specimens do not include sterile branches. Most of those that do have palmatifid leaves and as some of these also have hairy inflorescences, it is not possible to distinguish the two species. It is suspected that most plants assigned to S. hypoleuca would have circular, palmatifid leaves on their sterile branches.
