genus resemble the kidney-bean i]i their climbing
stems, but are less tall. Linn. 5, Or. 1,
Nat. Or. Convolvulctceoi. This genus, for the
most part, consists of very beautiful halfhardy
annuals. They require to be reared on
a hotbed, and about the end of May they may
be planted out in a warm sheltered situation in
the open border ; some of them may be kept
in the greenhouse, where they will flower and
ripen their seeds freely. The perennial kinds
are well adapted for covering pillars in the
stove or greenhouse. Any light rich soil suits
them, and cuttings of the young wood root
readily in sand, under a glass, in heat. Syno-^
