AMPELOPOVtTIS: Vitis. 



AMPHICARPjEA (Greek, alluding to the two kinds 

 of pods). Spelled also ylmp/iicarpa. Legumindsse. Hoa 

 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. 

 monoica, Ell. {Falcata comosa, Auct.), and A. PUclieri, 

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

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

 conspicuous pods. — Of Uttle value horticulturally.

AMPHICOME (amphi, both, and home, hair; the 

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

 Greenhouse herbaceous rockery plants from the Hima- 

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

 which are axillary or terminal : lvs. alternate, unequally 

 pinnate. — Species 2. 



argiita, Royle. Height 3 ft. : lvs. radical, the Ifts. in 

 .3-4 pairs, sessile, lanceolate, acuminate, deeply serrate: 

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

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

 awkshaped. P.M. 6:79. — Intro, by Montarioso Nur- 

 series. 



A. Bmiidii, Royle. Height 1^2-3 ft.: lfts. in 5-7 pairs, cordate- 

 ovate. oi>tuse, shortly petiolulate, margin crenate-lobate: fls. at 

 first corymbose: cornlla-tube and throat orange: calyx-lobes
