This is a species of Bladder-nut from the South of Russia. It is very much like S. Bumalda from Japan, already in cultivation in American gardens, but it flowers later, and has larger bunches of flowers. There are besides these two, two others, S. trifolia, the American, and S. pinnata, an English species, not often seen in gardens nor particularly ornamental. The American is not showy but sweet-scented. Even the orchard Oriole, an insectivorous bird, has been caught tapping its sweets.
