IN FLORIDA 113 
Florida in the borders of hammocks. The J. tuba is confined 
mostly to the lower keys and is quite similar. 
Ipomoea dissecta is a species with finely dissected leaves and 
white and purple flowers. 
Ipomoea fuchsioides is now called Exogonium microdactylum. 
It grows among the rocky pine forests of lower Dade County, 
has elongated leaves and rosy crimson flowers an inch and a 
half across, and is one of the most exquisite vines I am acquainted 
' with. I have it in fine condition in my grounds and it is almost 
equal to the famous Jpomoea horsfalli. 
Jacquemontia pentantha is another beautiful contribution from 
Florida, belonging to the Ipomoea family. It is a native of the 
lower keys. It has cordate leaves and elegant blue flowers 
produced in profusion. It is not long lived when cultivated in 
pine land but does better in hammock. 
Bignonia capreolata. An evergreen vine of northern Florida 
climbing high by means of adventive roots and bearing dull 
crimson, trumpet-shaped flowers. Will grow well in pine land 
or hammock in the lower end of the state. 
Tecoma radicans, or Trumpet Flower, occupies the same area 
as the last and is a more showy vine. This will also do well in 
the southern part of Florida. 
Chiococca racemosa. This sprawling vine is common in the 
hammocks of lower Florida and bears exquisite, bell-shaped, 
honey-scented flowers in summer. 
Lonicera sempervirens is the common Trumpet Honeysuckle 
which is distributed throughout most of the eastern half of the 
United States and is too well known to need comment. It has 
béen grown successfully in Dade County. 
NATIVE FERNS. 
I have treated the subject of ferns at some length in the chapter 
on fern pools and will only allude briefly to our species here. 
Cheiroglossa palmata, Hand Fern. A rare fern which grows 
in the axils of the leaves of the cabbage palmettos. I have not 
been successful in transplanting it but it might be grown from 
spores. It has V-shaped fronds cut into deep, blunt lobes.
