Wallich's, No. 3953. In form of leaf it agrees with some of 
the specimens in Dr. Wallich’s herbarium, called T. cordifolia, 
but referred by Mr. Bentham to T. asiatica ; they, however, 
have small flowers, and are probably something else. 
T. concolor was sent to the Horticultural Society, from 
China, by Mr. Fortune, from whom we have the following 
memorandum :— | 
** This plant was found growing in marshy ground, on the 
mountain of Hongkong, nearly two thousand feet above the 
level of the sea, and reached the Garden of the Horticultural 
Society in July, 1844. In China, it flowers in the autumn. 
After the flowering season is past, the dry weather sets in, 
and the stems and leaves shrivel up, and remain in this state 
during the winter months, when the temperature is sometimes 
down very near the freezing point. During the hot and 
damp summer months, it grows again with great vigour, and 
forms it flowers in great profusion. 
“ In this country it should be treated as a half stove plant, 
and grown in a moist atmosphere during the summer. As it 
is a trailing plant, it requires a trellis, After the flowering 
season is past, it may then be kept rather cool and dry 
during the winter months. 
‘It grows readily in any free soil, and is easily multiplied 
by euttings."
