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. Gardening. 320 CISSAMPELOS CISTUS petals united, the anthers 2-4, on a staminal column ; fertile fls. with 2 united fleshy sepals, subtended by a sepal-like bract, and solitary ovary, with 3 styles : fr. a aubglobose drupe, with a flattened and tuberculate stone. Many species or distinct forms in tropical regions, but many of them are evidently forms of the widely dis- tributed C. Parelra, Linn. This plant, as C. heterophylla, DC, and under other names is cult, in S. Fla. and the tropics. It is known as Velvet-leaf and Paeeiba Brava. It is an exceedingly variable vine, with downy, round-cordate or peltate Ivs., the sterils fls. in stalked corymbs and the fertile in large-bracted racemes, and a hairy, nearly globular, red fruit. It occurs in all tropical countries. L. g;. b. CiSSUS (Greek name of ivy). Vit&cecs. Very like Vitis, but differing in having the parts of the flower in 4's, the corolla not falling off as a cap, and the disk about the ovary ring-like or cup-like. Ampelopsis is distinguished by 5-merous fls. and the absence of a 473 Cissus (XM.) However, certain 5-merous, disk-bear- ing species are referred in this book to Ampelopsis {G. Ampelopsis= cor- data, G. sfans^A. arborea). Cissus has a wide range and many species in warm countries. The latest mono- grapher (Planchon, D C. Monogr. Phaner. 5) irecognizes 212 species. Foli- age often fleshy, but in most of the cult, species usually thin and handsomely colored or variegated. The species of Cissus are handsome, tall-climbing, tendril-bearing vines, of easy cultiva- tion. a. ZiVS. fleshy, S-lobed or S-foliolate. &cida, Linn. Low climber, with slender and striate somewhat fleshy glabrous branches : Ifts. or
