Both havelar^e fleshy flowers, greenish on the outside, and stained withdeep purple all over the inside of the corolla, the coronet re-maining straw-coloured, and they are among the finest of thestove-twiners in cultivation. If the purple of the corolla weremore brilliant, they would be almost unrivalled. A strong climbing plant, growing freely in a mixture of sandypeat and leaf-mould, if placed in a strong moist heat. It iseasily increased by cuttings in the usual way, and flowers freelyat different times all the summer and autumn. A fine shrub for places where there is plenty of room up therafters, in the stove, or it may be trained round a trellis in apot. Sept. 4, 1849. 5. Calboa globosa.
