Mina Lobata. This novelty, which 
is supposed to have first originated in 
Mexico, is one of the most beautiful 
climbing vines for ornamenting the 
garden. It closely resembles in growth 
and its three-lobed foliage the several 
species of the family of Ipomea; but 
the flowers are altogether different. 
The flowers appear on fork-like racemes 
bearing themselves upright or almost 
erect out of the dense and luxuriant 
foliage, and with their bright colors 
they present an extraordinary striking 
aspect. The buds are at first bright red,

but chanze to orange yellow, and when 
in full bloom, to yellowish white. The 
most singuiar feature of this plant is, 
that it retains the racemes developed at 
first during the whole flowering season, 
the buds continuing to grow succes- 
sively at the top of the racemes, while 
the lower flowers, after blooming for 
some time, fade, bearing thus con- 
tinually clusters of flowers from the 
bottom un to the highest vine of the 
Mina Lobata.
