The Deutzia ( Deutzia ) are a genus of plants from the hydrangea family (Hydrangeaceae). Some species of the genus, which is closely related to the pipe bushes ( Philadelphus ), are popular ornamental plants .

description

The Deutzia are deciduous, mostly upright shrubs with stem-like branches. The branches are usually hollow or have a loose, light to brown pulp . The bark is thin and finely fissured. The buds are 3 to 7 millimeters long, egg-shaped to elongated egg-shaped, sometimes square and all about the same size. The bud scales are pointed. The leaf scars are V-shaped and show traces of three vascular bundles.

The leaves are arranged opposite one another. They are usually short-stalked, ovate to lanceolate with notched or serrated leaf margin and teeth directed towards the leaf tip. Both sides are pressed with star hair . Stipules are missing.

The flowers are 1 to 2.5 centimeters in diameter. There are few to about 25 arranged in panicles, grapes, cymes or cymes at the end of short, lateral and leafy shoots. The calyx is bell-shaped and five-lobed. There are no sterile flowers. The five petals , arranged like roof tiles or flaps, are spatula to egg-shaped and white to pink. The 10 to 15 stamens are shorter than the petals. The stamens are awl-shaped to linear and forked at the extreme end. The stylus are not overgrown. The under constant ovary is three to fünffächrig, the ovules are arranged transversely. The fruit is a capsule . The numerous, 0.5 to 3 millimeters long seeds are winged.

The chromosome numbers are n = 13, 26, 39, 52 and 65.

distribution

The distribution area of ​​the genus is disjoint and extends from Mexico to Asia (including Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Philippines, China) to the Himalayas . China is the center of diversity .

The genus was first described by Carl Peter Thunberg in 1781 . The generic name is reminiscent of Johann von der Deutz (1743–1788), a Dutch councilor and sponsor of CP Thunberg.

Overall, the genus consists of around 60 species, which are divided into three sections ( Neodeutzia, Mesodeutzia and Deutzia ) as well as six subsections and 16 series. The Plantlist lists the following species of the genus:

Ornamental plant

Deutzias are often grown as ornamental plants because of their white flowers. Many cultivars and hybrids were selected for use in the garden, including varieties with double flowers . For example, Deutzia x lemoinei is a hybrid of Deutzia gracilis and Deutzia parviflora . Identification can be difficult, so many of the plants sold as Deutzia scabra actually belong to the species Deutzia crenata .
