Notice

Colin Mills, compiler of the Hortus Camdenensis, died in late November 2012 after a short illness. As he always considered the Hortus his legacy, it is his family's intention to keep the site running in perpetuity. It will not, however, be updated in the near future.

Lagerstroemia indica L. var. elegans alba

See Lagerstroemia indica L. for a description of the species.  Elegans alba is probably similar to elegans but with white flowers.  [Hortus Second].  See also Lagerstroemia indica L. var. elegans.
