culture. Flowers axillary; pedicellate, large and elegant. Leaves 
pinnately-trifoliate with the leaflets stipulate. Propagation by seed.

ful acquisition to our climbers. 
Combretum N. O. Combretaceae .-—Many of the Combretums are 
of considerable beauty, but like the Bauhinias they require to be of 
considerable size before they show to full advantage. Propagation by 
seed and cuttings. 
Conge a N, 0. Verbenaceae A beautiful genus of plants of 
scandent habit. They may be utilised as specimen plants on lawns 
or allowed to climb trees. 
Congea tomentosa : -The beauty of this plant lies in the profusion 
of showy bright pink bracts which surround the otherwise inconspicu- 
ous flowers. 
Dip/adenia N, O. Apocynaceae A very ornamental genus of 
climbers of which there are many varieties and hybrids. jFlowers 
usually rose or purple and extremely showy. Leaves opposite and 
entire. Dipladenias succeed admirably when grown in tubs but they 
show to better advantage if grown on low trellis work or arches. 
Propagation by cuttings. 
D. Harrisi: — This is one of the finest of all climbers. Flowers 
bright yellow shaded with orange, large and most deliciously scented; 
of difficult propagation owing to the plentiful supply of latex which 
exudes from the cut stems. 
Faraday a N. O. Verbenaceae: — A genus of strong growing scan- 
dent plants, requiring plenty of room for successful culture. Propa- 
gation by seeds and cuttings. 
F. Papuana: — A climber of robust habit but unfortunately a some- 
what shy bloomer. Flowers white in clusters, terminal. Fruits curious, 
slightly resembling a white potato having many eyes. This climber 
succeeds well in full sunshine and occasional prunings are beneficial.
