30 PRESENT-DAY GARDENING 



Passiflora coerulea grows flowers and fruits against a south 

 wall in England, yet it is also quite happy in the green- 

 house and conservatory, and is nowhere more successful 

 than in a tropical house. Solatium Wendlandii grew and 

 flowered well out of doors in the garden of the late Sir 

 Trevor Lawrence at Burford, and it is now fairly common 

 as a greenhouse plant, yet it is a native of the tropical 

 forests of Brazil, and it has never been seen anywhere in 

 greater luxuriance than in the hot, moist Water Lily House 

 at Kew. 



At the same time many tropical plants will not thrive 

 in other than a stove temperature. The following list of 

 genera is an attempt at a selection of climbers which 

 require a tropical climate and which are known to be 

 cultivated in the gardens of this country as ornamental 

 plants :
