Cyclopedia of American horticulture : comprising suggestions for cultivation of horticultural plants, descriptions of the species of fruits, vegetables, flowers, and ornamental plants sold in the United States and Canada, together with geographical and biographical sketches cyclopediaofame02bail Year: 1906 98b MARTYNIA upper lobes being smaller than the 3 lower. The fls. are 2 in. or more across, chiefly lilac, purple or yellow but spotted and marked about the throat with other colors. They are heavily scented and interesting, but, like all other parts of the plant, they are clammy. The plants grow 1 ft. or more high, and should be started in a hotbed in early spring in the North and transplanted to the open. In the middle and southern states seed may bo sown in the open 3 ft. apart each way where the plants are to remain. The capsules are taken when small and tender and pickled like cucumbers. They have a very distinct appearance by reason of the long- curved horn -which splits from the top as the capsule hardens. The small family to which Martynia belongs is allied to the Bignonia family, and the fls, are much alike, but the habit and fruit are different. Martynias are either annuals or perenuials, with large tuber-shaped roots, prostrate or suberect and clammy: Ivs. opposite or al- ternate, long-stalked, cordate, coarsely wavy-margined or toothed, or palmately lobed: fls. 5-8 in a short, ter- minal raceme: capsules with 2 short or long horns. The first three species described below belong to the subgenus Proboscidea, which has 4 perfect stamens and long-horned capsules. They vary considerably in the foliage, roundish or wider than long, 3 lobed, sharply 3-cut or entire except the notch, which is always found at the base, margin toothed, angled or MARY, BLUE-EYED.
