A West Indian plant, inhabiting close, shady, damp 

 woods, where it creeps upon the ground or climbs up the 

 trunks of trees by the aid of numerous roots which it pushes 

 forth from its stems like ivy. 



The accompanying drawing was made in the hot-house 

 of Mr. Knight, of the King's Road, in September, 1836. 



Although not a showy plant, it may be found useful to 

 cover the back wall of a hot-house, or any similar place 

 where there is not light enough for other plants to grow. In 

 such situations it spreads rapidly like ivy. No plant is more 

 easily cultivated than this. It succeeds best when trained 



From cpvfxovia, woodland ; the species inhabit forests
