species of half-hardy climbing shrubs, natives of the

EK2ZMPFERIA (named: after E. Kempfer, 1651-1716, 
Leaves small, or rather 
Kempferias thrive in well-drained fibry loam and peat. 
During the growing season, they require an abundant 
supply of water; but when the leaves turn yellow, this — 
should be almost entirely withheld, and the pots stowed 
away under staging, where no drip can reach them. 
When growth recommences, the plants should be shaken 
out and repotted. -
