A genus of stove and greenhouse climbers, with the 

 exception of the handsome foliage of C. discolor, having 

 no particular pretensions to beauty. We introduce it in 

 order to remark, that with the exception of the grape- 

 vine and Ampelopsis, the plants of this order are singu- 

 larly deficient in use or beauty. The species require 

 the same treatment as Cissampelos.
