Loureiro’s Crawfurdia. Shrub climbing. 
Cult. Cramfürdia is a genus of very showy, twining plants. 
They will grow very well in a mixture of loam, sand, and peat; 
and may either be increased by cuttings or seeds. Should the 
seeds of any of the species ever be introduced to our gardens, 
we would recommend their being reared on a hot bed in spring, 
and in the middle of May the plants so reared to be trans- 
planted out in the open border, against a south wall, and other- 
wise treated as the hardy species of Convólvulus.
