This 



very 



^.... ..., handsome frutescent climber is a native of 



Mexico, whence seeds were obtained by several individuals 

 about the same time. It grows most luxuriantly during 

 the summer, trained to a wall or treillage, and requires 

 exactly the same treatment as Eccremocarpus scaber ; 



* So named by Mr. Don, from Xo<j>»f, a crest, and a^t^ 

 seeds have a winged or crested margin.
