 blooming species. A most desirable decorative climber 

 for a warm greenhouse of 55° F. but does not thrive so 

 well in a stove. It is entirely devoid of the unpleasant 

 Oflor which is characteristic of the fls. of this genus. In 

 Fla. it self-sows freely; and the hanging basket-like frs. 

 are very attractive.
