the blossoms are of a very singular form. 
It is a neat climber for a greenhouse, not 
at all tender; the leaves are strong, and not 
liable to decay in the winter; for which 
reason it is a fit plant for any dark or ob- 
scure place in a conservatory, where a more 
tender subject would not stand. It is in- 
. ereased by cuttings or division of the roots, 
and prospers in a loamy soil.
