Cult. This singular plant has not 

 yet been introduced to Britain, it is 

 therefore not ascertained whether it 

 would stand the climate without 

 protection during winter. It will 

 no doubt grow freely in a mixture 

 of loam and peat, and can only be 

 increased by seeds, or cuttings.

 Cult. The seeds of these plants may be sown in the open 



border, and being climbing plants they should be supported by 

 small dead branches, or allowed to climb up the side of a hedge.
