VINES, Continued 
LONICERA [24] sempervirens. Hardy. Native. An 
evergreen in the south, this .honeysuckle is well 
suited for trellis or fence. Its attractive orange- 
scarlet flowers blossom from May to August. 
L. japonica Var. Halliana. Flowers pure white chang¬ 
ing to yellow. 
PANDOREA [25] Ricasoliana (Tecoma Ricasoli- 
ana). Tropical. South Africa. This is one of the 
handsomest of our flowering vines. Foliage is 
more open and lacy than the other varieties of 
Tecoma; large terminal panicles of lavender pink 
blossoms with deeper lines in the throat are pro¬ 
duced most of the year. Prefers a well drained 
situation. 
P. jasminoides (Tecoma jasminoides). Tropical Aus¬ 
tralia. A very rapid growing vine with small dark 
green and shining foliage and terminal clusters 
of delicate pink or almost white flowers with a 
pink throat. Not so free flowering as the Rica¬ 
soliana this Pandorea has very lovely foliage and 
does not make such a heavy vine. 
PASSIFLORA [25-A] Pfordtii. Passion flower. 
Tropical. A grand species, in bloom every day 
in the year. A rampant grower. Flowers very 
large, bluish-purple in color. 
PERESKIA [26] aculeata. Lemon Vine. Barbados 
Gooseberry. Tropical. A very thorny vine belong¬ 
ing to the cactus family but having true leaves. 
The creamy white flowers are borne periodically 
and in great numbers. A very rampant grower, 
it is sometimes used as a grafting stock for 
weaker forms of cacti. 
P. Bleo. Tropical. A form of the above but with 
heavier fleshier stems, large leaves and terminal 
clusters of delicate pink flowers that resemble 
wild roses. A very lovely subject, but thorny like 
the preceding. 
PETREA [27] volubilis. Queen’s Wreath. Tropical. 
American Tropics. A rather woody vine with 
large rough evergreen leaves and a profusion of 
lovely bloom in long racemes during the early 
spring. The individual flower is quite unusual, 
the calyx being a lovely gray-blue while the 
corolla is almost royal purple with a white eye. 
At its best during the spring this lovely vine has 
several seasons of bloom during the summer. 
PORANA [28] paniculata. Snow Creeper. Tropical. 
India. A very rank growing vine with large heart- 
shaped deeply veined leaves of a peculiar light 
yellow-green color and masses of small pure white 
flowers during early fall. Very fragrant and lovely 
the blossoms last well when cut and a vine in 
bloom looks as if it were covered with drifts of 
snow. Thrifty in growth it will climb to the top 
of tall trees but must have a well drained soil 
to succeed. 
PYROSTEGIA [ 29] ignea. (Bignonia venusta). 
Flame Vine. Tropical. Brazil. One of the show¬ 
iest and best known of our winter flowering 
vines, the Pyrostegia will cover trees, fences, 
trellis, and in fact anything that it can clamber 
over. Foliage medium to large, light green and 
pointed, flowers in late winter and early spring 
in dense clusters of orange-red tubular blooms 
that completely cover the vine. Must have well 
drained soil for best results and does not thrive 
well on the beach. 
QUISQUALIS [30] indica. Rangoon Creeper. Trop¬ 
ical. Malaya. A large twining shrubby vine with 
pointed deeply veined leaves and having a 
profusion of star-shaped flowers on long slender 
tubes during spring and summer. The flowers 
are white in the morning and change to red be¬ 
fore night. Quite fragrant, the odor suggests ripe 
fruit. 
SCINDAPSUS [31] aureus (Pothos aureus). Trop¬ 
ical. Another of the large climbing aroid group 
with leaves reaching an immense size. Light 
green blotched and streaked with golden yellow, 
it not only makes a splendid show on large tree 
trunks but may be grown as a pot plant for the 
house when young. 
S. Wilcoxei. A form of the above more suited to 
pot culture as the leaves apparently do not get 
so large and are more consistently variegated 
green and creamy white. 
SENECIO [32] confusus. Mexican Flame Vine. 
Tropical. Mexico. A rather new introduction that 
bids fair to become one of our most popular 
vines. The growth is very rapid and foliage re¬ 
sembles that of the Thunbergia grandiflora some¬ 
what but is not so heavy. A regular and almost 
constant bloomer, the flowers are in loose ter¬ 
minal clusters, daisy-like, brilliant orange chang¬ 
ing to almost red with age. So far we have found 
that this will thrive in almost and soil and seems 
to do fairly well near the water.
