 C. patens, C. splendida under C. lanugiaosa as form of C. Jackmanii. 



21. campaniflora, Brot. 

 Climbing, 1O-15 ft.: fls. 

 reflexed and bell-shaped as 

 in the above type or more 

 so, usually 1 in. or less 

 diam., purple or whitish: fr. 

 with short pubescent tail. 

 June, July. Native of 

 Portugal. L.B.C. 10:987. 

 Gn. 31, p. 187. Lav. 8 

 This has been called C. 

 Viticella because of its close resem- 

 blance in fl., fr. and If.; but the Ivs. 

 are often twice ternate, and the plant 

 is much more slender in habit. 



22. fl6rida, Thunb. (C. japdnica, 

 Makino, not Thunb.). A slender 

 plant, climbing 9-12 ft. : Ivs. variable, 

 more or less ternate or biternate; 

 Ifts. small, ovate-lanceolate: fls. 2-4 

 in. across, flat when expanded; the 

 5-6 broad, ovate sepals creamy 

 white, barred with purple beneath; 

 stamens purplish. May, June. Japan.

 Var. tricolor, Steud. (C. Sieboldii, D. 

 Don). Fig. 986. Like the type, but 

 with the purple stamens somewhat 

 petal-like, and forming a dense, pur- 

 ple head in the center. F.S. 5:487.

Belle of Woking. A hybrid form: fls. very full and double; sepals 

 purple. 



John Gould Veitch (C. Veitchii, Hort.). Fls. velvet, double, 

 resembling var. Fortunei, except in the color of the sepals. From 

 Japanese gardens. F.S. 18 : 1875-6. 



Hybrids of this species are: C. venosa, Krampen, see C. Viticella; 

 C. Lawsoniana, see C. lanuginosa. 



23. lanugindsa, Lindl. (including var. pdllida, Hort.). 

 Climbing only 5 or 6 ft.: Ivs. simple or of 3 Ifts., 

 cordate-acuminate, woolly beneath: fls. erect on stout 

 stalks shorter than the sepals, woolly in the bud, the 

 largest of the wild species, being 6 in. across; sepals 



5 or 6, broadly ovate, leathery, rather flat, overlapping, 

 lavender or bluish gray; center of stamens pale reddish 

 brown; styles plumose. Summer. Native near Ningpo, 

 China. F.S. 8:811. I.H. 1:14. Lav. 1. M. & J. 4. J. 

 F. 4:363. H.F. 1855:1. 1854:225. G.C. III. 29:23. G. 

 I, p. 257. Gng. 5:38. It is to this species, more than 

 to any other, that the beauty and popularity of the 

 garden varieties and hybrids are due. The finest 

 hybrids, including C. Jackmanii and its section, and C. 

 Lawsoniana, contain more or less of the blood of C. 

 lanuginosa. 



Forms of C. lanuginosa are: 



Var. Candida, Lemoine (C. Candida, Hort.). Like the type, 

 except that the simple Ivs. and Ifts. of the compound Ivs. are much 

 larger, and the fls. are larger, being 7-8 in. across, and white with 

 a purplish shading around the margins. F.M. 5:310. V. 6:225. 

 Perhaps a hybrid of C. patens. 



Var. nivea, Lemoine (C. nivea, Hort.). Sepals 6-8, narrowish, 

 pure white ; anthers pale brown. Thought to be of same origin as 

 the above var. 



alba mdgna, Jackman. Fls. very large, pure white, with about 



6 broad sepals and purplish brown anthers. G.C. II. 3:685. 



Lady Caroline Nevill, Cripps. Fls. 

 often 7 in. across; sepals 6, nearly 

 white, with mauve - colored stripe 

 down center of each. Gn. 46, p. 33. 

 -"'-" One of the finest light-colored varie- 

 ties. 



Princess of Wales, Jackman. Fls. 

 6 in. across; sepals 8, satiny bluish 

 mauve, very broad. G.C. III. 27:53. 

 Gn. 59, p. 366. 



Marie Lefebvre, Cripps. Resembles the 

 last, but has 8 sepals, more pointed, and 

 darker in shade. 



Perfection, Froebel. Fls. very large; sepals 

 8, very broad, lilac-mauve. R.B. 6: 193. 



Sensation, Cripps. Fls. like the type, but 

 with 6-7 grayish blue sepals, 6 in. across. 



Madame Emile Sorbet, Paillet. Fls. bright 

 blue. R.H.1878:291. 



Madame Van Houtte, Cripps. Late-bloom- 

 ing; sepals pale blue, becoming white. 



Madame Thibaut. Fls. very abundant. 

 Thought to be a hybrid with C. Viticella. 



The President, Noble. A rich violet- 

 blue fl. 



Excelsior, Cripps. Fls. double; sepals 

 grayish purple, with a reddish bar down the 

 center of each. F.S. 20:2055. 



violacea, Noble. Fls. violet-blue, 7 in. 

 across. F.M. 1876:217. 



Robert Hanbury, Jackman. Sepals bluish 

 lilac, flushed at the edges with red, and the 

 bar slightly tinted with red. Gn. 16 : 128. 



This species has given rise to 

 numerous beautiful hybrids which in 

 many cases are the product of so 

 much intercrossing that it is impos- 

 sible to recognize the exact parent- 

 age. By far the most important 

 group of these hybrids may be classed 

 under C. Jackmanii, which, however, 

 by some is considered not a hybrid, 

 but a species intro. from Japan.
