Description:
Clump of 4 stems in a tight clump or all from the same stem and branching from the very base, the largest 12 cm. in diameter, ca. 25 years old but the growth rings difficult to count, the wood irregularly discolored and the innermost rings beginning to rot, the growth rings hard to count. This perhaps the largest plant in this 60 acre wooded property; the stems arching as is typical, but then branches supported in nearby Juniperus virginiana and almost scrambling, to 7 m. high. Bark furrowed and shredding. This and many others of this species badly winter-killed and resprouting from the base. Voucher herbarium specimens from the rapidly growing, watery, brittle, hollow straight sprouts typical from base of winter-killed plants and from stems wherever broken. Flowering material from a nearby plant which had only the ultimate twigs winter-killed; corolla white, with pink on tube; corollas fading to dull light yellow.
