AURED REHDER. 



AMPELOPOVlTIS: Vitis. 



AMPHICARREA (Greek, alluding to the two kinds 

 of pods). Spelled also Amphicarpa. Legumindsse. Hoo 

 PEANUT. A genus of 6-8 species of herbaceous peren- 

 nial vines of E. N. Amer. and India, considered by some 

 to contain also the species now credited to Falcata. 

 Fls. of 2 kinds, the upper axillary, racemose and 

 showy, the lower apetalous, fertile, and borne in the 

 lower axils. Not in the American trade and cult, only 

 in botanic gardens. The only common species are A. 

 monolca, Ell. (Falcata comosa, Auct.), and A. I'itcheri, 

 Tprr. & Gray. Both are pubescent or glabrate vines, 

 with trifoliolate Ivs., white or purplish fls., and rather 

 conspicuous pods. Of little value horticulturally.

 seeds having a tuft of hair at both ends). Bignoniacex. 

 Greenhouse herbaceous rockery plants from the Hima- 

 layas, with large, rosy, funnel-shaped, 5-lobed fls. 

 which are axillary or terminal: Ivs. alternate, unequally 

 pinnate. Species 2.

 34 pairs, sessile, lanceolate, acuminate, deeply serrate: 

 fls. in terminal racemes, fewer than in the next; corolla- 

 tube rose-colored, trumpet-shaped; calyx-lobes long, 

 awl-shaped. P.M. 6:79. Intro, by Montarioso Nur- 

 series.

 ovate, obtuse, shortly petiolulate, margin crenate-lobate: fls. at
