Tweediana. One of the most beautiful climbers in existence. 
The foliage is very beautiful at all times; the young growth being a pale

three months; they are borne in pairs opposite the axils of the leaves. 
They gem the masses of foliage and adorn the trailing branches, making 
an exquisite picture; are a bright canary-yellow, shaded darker in the 
lobes and throat. The vine clings by tiny tendrils, growing close to the 
surface of walls, roofs or trees, and is beautiful to trail over the ground.

Southern California it makes splendid specimens. Hardy. Fine for

cent scandent shrub with long spreading branches; handsome, light-green
