Rhodotypos (Greek, rhodon, rose, and typos, type; alluding to the resemblance of the flowers to those of a single rose). Rosaceae. Ornamental shrub, grown chiefly for its large white flowers and for the handsome bright green foliage. Leaves deciduous, opposite, stipulate, short-petioled, serrate: fls. solitary, short - pedicelled; sepals large, half as long as petals, outside with 4 small alternate bracts; petals 4, orbicular; stamens numerous; carpels usually 4, developing into black dry 1-seeded drupes, surrounded by the large persistent calyx.—One species in Japan. A handsome and distinct shrub, hardy as far north as Mass., with bright green foliage, conspicuous by its white fls. in spring and by its shining black fr. in autumn and winter. It thrives well in any good soil. Prop, by seeds and by greenwood cuttings under glass early in summer; also by hardwood cuttings.
