Cult. The species of this genus are climbing plants hardly 
worth cultivating except in general collections. They are all 
of easy culture, but they will thrive best in a mixture of loam 
and peat ; and cuttings will strike root readily in sand under a 
hand-glass, in heat. The annual species may be sown thinly in 
pots in spring, and then placed in a hot-bed, and when the 
plants are of considerable size they may be thinned, and the pots 
removed to the stove, where they may stand until the plants have 
ripened their seed.

Lin. syst. Octdndria, Monogijnia. Calyx of 5 sepals, 2 
outer ones smallest. Petals 4, each furnished with a scale above 
the base, 2 lower ones remote from the stamens, the scales of 
the 2 lower petals, ending in inflexed appendages. Glands 4 on 
the disk, opposite the petals, 2 lowest ones largest. Stamens 8, con- 
nate around the base of the ovary. Style trifid, with the segments 
longitudinally stigmatose on the inside. Capsule membranous, 3- 
winged, a little inflated in the middle, 3-celled, or composed of

aril. Embryo hardly curved.—Climbing or twining-tendrilled 
shrubs, with ternate leaves, and with the flowers disposed in 
spike-formed racemes, the common peduncle usually furnished 
with 2 opposite tendrils under the flowers. Flowers white.
