Stereospermum is a genus of large trees in lo 
species from the East Indies and other parts of the 
tropics of Asia and Africa. They have fine foliage 
and fragrant flowers but are only useful for “our 
colonies. ' ’ 
Incarvillea is a genus of hardy perennials in 
several forms, from northern China and Central 
Asia. The flowers are in shades of color from 
rosy red to purple and white. 
Torretia lappacea is a monotypic perennial 
climber with herbaceous stems and purple flowers. 
It maybe 
treated as an 
annual if sown 
early. It is 
widely dif- 
fused along 
the upper An- 
dean region 
fr o m Mexico 
to Peru. 
Eccreinocar- 
pus is in 3 
species from 
western South 
America. The 
Chilian E. 
scaber has 
orange scarlet flowers, bipinnate leaves, climbing 
herbaceous stems, and is often treated as an annual. 
Jacaranda is a fine genus of tropical American 
trees and shrubs with elegant foliage and blueish, 
lilac, yellowish or white flowers. There are about 
30 species. J. mimosaefolia and some others ought 
to be useful in sub-tropical work for their annual 
growth of finely divided foliage, or even as flower- 
ing trees at the extreme south. 
Thniibergia , however, is a splendid genus of 
shrubs and climbers in about 45 species. They are 
mostly perennial with a few variable kinds capable 
of annual treatment, chiefly T. alata. They are

found in the sub-tropical and tropical parts of Asia 
and Africa. Both Meyenia and Hexacentris are 
included under the genus. T. grandiflora will 
make a tremendous growth if turned out as a 
summer climber at the south, but I have not had it 
flower at that season. It is quite hardy at Santa 
Barbara, Cal. T. Mysorensis, T. fragrans, T. 
erecta in var., and for the warmest and most frost- 
lese places T. Vogeliana, T. chrysops and the 
superb trailing T. Hawtayneana (which, by the 
bye, isn’t “scarlet” flowered) are all worth a trial.
