SUPERFLUA. 



This genus was named after Mutis, the 

 celebrated South American Botanist. It 

 is a native of Brazil, and is a free-growing 

 climber, flowering during the summer 

 months : each leaf is terminated by a strong 

 forked tendril, by the aid of which it fastens 

 itself to branches of trees, and ascends to a 



considerable height. 



It requires the greenhouse, will increase 

 by cuttings, and grows very well in light 

 loamy soil.
