which are very showy, are produced along the stem from 
short solitary racemes. The corolla is about six inches long, 
variegated with yellow and brown, and clothed with glandu- 
lar hairs. The calycine segments are also spotted and hairy. 
In propagating, the terminal shoots should be used for 
cuttings, and the stem divided into lengths about two inches 
long, laid flat, and treated in the same manner as advised 
for the Aeschynanthus, except that it is not advisable to peg 
the shrubby stems to the basket, as they are very brittle.
