Tamarix tetrandra Pall. ex M.Bieb.

Like T. parviflora, this flowers on the previous year’s wood and the flowers have normally four petals and stamens (sometimes five petals and five antesepalous stamens and sometimes with a few extra stamens opposite the petals). The bark is black. The racemes are somewhat longer and broader than in T. parviflora and the bracts are green except at the apex. Petals 1⁄8 in. long, so somewhat longer than in T. parviflora. Antesepalous stamens inserted between the lobes of the disk, which is fleshier and more conspicuous than in T. parviflora (Baum, Monographic Revision and Flora Europaea).
