pendulous, pointed below: albwmen large; embryo straight, 
central. 
This truly magnificent creeper, whose climbing stems, 
copiously adorned with leaves and with large, campanulate 
blossoms, render it a very desirable object of cultivation, 
was raised by P. Neitz, Esq., in his garden at Canonmills, 
near Edinburgh, from Mexican seed, in the spring of last 
year (1830). It flowered in his stove in the beginning, and 
in the greenhouse of the Botanic Garden, Edinburgh, in the 
middle of September. It also possesses the advantage of 
thriving in the open border, where its flower-buds are now 
making their appearance. Granam, MSS. 
Mr. Sweet remarks, that when this plant flowers in the 
open air, the colour of its blossoms becomes a deep purple, 
instead of the pale pink which it assumes, when cultivated 
under glass.
