" A long trailing perennial shrub, the steins of which, much branched, attain 

 a length of 20 ft. and upwards." A very handsome species from the Organ 

 Mountains, where it " clings in long festoons" to the branches of the trees, 

 and " exhibits abundance of its brilliant flowers." Though its native place is 

 within the tropics, yet being at an elevation of 3000 ft., the nights in winter 

 are frequently as low as from 35° to 40° Fahr. " It strikes easily from 

 cuttings." (Bot. Beg., Dec.)

This species " is remarkable for the rich green which terminates the scarlet 

 flowers, which, if it takes something from their brilliancy, adds much to the 

 novelty of their appearance. It has, moreover, a fine broad foliage, and when 

 out of flower is handsomer than the generality of its race." (Bot Reg., Dec.)

that in the Bot. Reg. yellow.
