This is an exceedingly graceful plant with slender climbing stems, and very 

 dark purple flowers. " In cultivation it requires the temperature of a stove, 

 and may be trained to the rafters of the house, or to a wire trellis spread 

 entirely over the roof." Care should be taken not to suffer it to become too 

 wet. " From the weakness of its shoots, it will need pruning in the winter, 

 and may perhaps be improved by having its branches stopped while they are 

 growing. It is not till after a specimen has been established for two or three 

 years that it acquires the ornamental character which naturally belongs to it, 

 but it then blossoms throughout the summer in the greatest prodigality."

This is one of the most splendid climbing plants in British hothouses, and 

 it appears likely to flower nearly all the summer, as a specimen in the stove at 

 Mr. Veitch's Nursery near Exeter continued producing flowers from July to 

 October, at which period the greater part of the leaves of the plant fell off* 

 with the flowers ; thus proving that the plant was partly deciduous. The habit 

 of the plant is very luxuriant; the leaves are of unusual size, and the flowers, 

 which are borne in large clusters (expanding only one or two at a time), are 

 each often 3 or 4 inches in breadth. After the leaves fall, the plant " should be 

 kept in a state of rest through the mouths of November, December, and Ja- 

 nuary." {Paxt. Mag. of Bot., March, 1843 ; and Bot. Mag., Nov. 1842.)

This species, though not so handsome as the preceding ones, is yet well de- 

 serving of cultivation, from the agreeable variety afforded by its colour, which 

 is yellow tinged with rose. {Bot. Mag., Feb. 1843.)

This is a very remarkable plant from the colour and profusion of the flowers, 

 which form a large panicle about 2 ft. high and li ft. broad. A great many 

 flowers " are in beauty at one time, and they continue in perfection a very long 

 time, if kept cool and protected from the too powerful rays of the sun." 

 In a shady greenhouse, the flowers of this plant " have been equally profuse 

 and perfect for a period of four months." {Bot. Mag., Oct. 1843.)

This beautiful species, though figured in the Botanical Register so far back as 

 1837, having been accidentally omitted in the Hortus Britannicus, it has been 

 thought advisable to give the reference to it in the Botanical Register here, 

 on the occasion of its being again figured in the Botanical Magazine for 

 March, 1843.
