 rianum. Walt. (Rinna perumdna, Moq. Villamttla peru- 

 viana, Hook. f. V. rbseo-cema, Rusby. Ledenbergia

 choice warmhouse collections. It is a climbing woody 

 plant prized for its ornamental Ivs., prop, by cuttings 

 under glass : 6 f t . or more tall, with slender branches : Ivs. 

 elliptic, acuminate, usually rounded or cordate but 

 unequal at base, thickish, shining metallic green above

 elongated lax partially erect but becoming drooping 

 racemes. Andean region. I.H. 16:591, which repre- 

 sents a handsome purple plant, with a long raceme of 

 phytolacca-like fls. 



Trichostigma is characterized by alternate petiolate 

 entire oval or elliptic Ivs. and hermaphrodite racemose 



small 4-parted fls.: sepals nearly equal, free, ovate or 

 elliptic, reflexed in fr.; petals none; stamens 8-25, more 

 or less inserted on the hypogynous disk; ovary 1-celled, 

 the style very short or none: fr. berry-like, globular.

 petals are divided into 3 pointed lobes). Syn., Tricuspis.

Leaves alternate or opposite, serrate: peduncles 

 axillary, solitary, 1-fld.: fls. rather large; calyx cam- 

 panulate, truncate, obsoletely 5-toothed, deciduous; 

 petals 5, 3-dentate or -lobed; stamens numerous; ovary 

 3 5-celled, ovules many in a cell : caps, leathery, usually 

 angled, loculicidally 3 5-valved. Two species, Chile. 

 The accepted name is now Crinodendron.

 or obovate, apex rather blunt, crenulate-dentate : fls. 

 white, campanulate, pedicels slender. Chile. B.M.

 pidaria dependens, Hook., not Ruiz & Pav. T. heia- 

 petala, Turcz. T. lanceolata, Miq.). Tree, up to 30 ft.

 the nectar-bearing sacs at the base of the three outer 

 perianth-segments). Liliaceae. TOAD-LILIES. Half- 

 hardy perennials, pretty garden plants; also used for 

 pot culture. 



Rhizome short-creeping: sts. erect, simple below the 

 infl., leafy: infl. terminal, or laxly dichotomous in the 

 upper axils: fls. 

 few, rather large,
