Cult. The species of this genus are climbing plants hardly 

 worth cultivating except in general collections. They are all 

 of easy culture, but they will thrive best in a mixture of loam 

 and peat ; and cuttings will strike root readily in sand under a 

 hand-glass, in heat. The annual species may be sown thinly in 

 pots in spring, and then placed in a hot-bed, and when the 

 plants are of considerable size they may be thinned, and the pots 

 removed to the stove, where they may stand until the plants have 

 ripened their seed.
