ECCREMOCARPUS. . 



Gen. Char. {JDidynamia Angiospermia.) Corolla tube-like and 

 monopetalous, five-lobed; leaves compound. 



Although Eccremocarjous scaler is sufficiently hardy to be 

 planted out in summer, and in sheltered situations will 

 bear the root to remain in the ground if well covered with 

 ashes, it is so beautiful a climbing plant for the greenhouse, 

 that it may be introduced with advantage, as its tubular, 

 orange-scarlet flowers are very beautiful, and the stem 

 climbs to a great height. The seeds require heat to raise 

 them, and the young plants will flower the first season, 

 but better when older; cuttings may be taken in August, 

 and planted under a hand-glass in a shady border, but these 

 require to be housed for the winter. This plant is some- 

 times called Calampelis scabra. A light loamy soil is the 

 most suitable for these plants.
