Ouamoclit milqaris. Xatukal Order: Co)2vohulaceiC — Convolvulus Family. 



\MOCLIT (an aboriginal Mexican name) is a vine of deli- 

 L itL cind air\- appearance, its leaves being small and feather- 

 H«.- like, and the stem slender, growing to about eight or ten 

 Lt in length. The flowers are small but beautifully bril- 

 liant, and very abundant. One or two new variedes have 

 'appealed, introducing both white and pink, which, combined 

 with the Lumson or scarlet, produce a pretty effect when trained 

 ^'"^upon a tielhs oi other support. The seeds are somewhat difficult of 

 1* geimination, and should be soaked in warm water for a short time 

 'before planting, otherwise they are apt to decay before sprouting. This 

 vine passes varioush' under the names Ipomoea (from the Greek, and 

 signifying, like the ips, a vine worm), Quamoclit, and Cypress Vine, 

 and is nearly related to the morning glories and others passing under 

 the general name of Convolvulus.
