 Shrub climbing. 



Cult. This, like the next genus, is composed of elegant, 

 climbing, evergreen, ever-flowering, herbaceous, or suffruticose 

 plants ; for which the species are very generally cultivated in 

 gardens. A light rich soil suits them best ; and they are rea- 

 dily increased by seeds, which generally ripen in abundance ; or 

 by young cuttings, which strike root readily under a hand-glass. 

 All the species do very well during summer, and flower freely 

 planted against a wall in the open air, or at the bottom of trellis- 

 work, to which they should be trained ; but in winter they re- 

 quire the protection of a greenhouse.
