PERIPLOCA GRÆCA. 
Class. Order. 
PENTANDRIA DIGYNIA. 
A native of the south of Europe, per- 
fectly hardy with us: it has long been 
in cultivation, but still is by no means 
common. 
It grows freely, and if supported will 
get up to 10 or 12 feet high, running round 
any tree or other support: the leaves are 
ornamental as well as the flowers, which 
are curiously formed: they appear in June 
and July. It may be increased by layers, 
and thrives in any soil.
