{{Inc| Oxera pulchella, Labill. Lvs. 2-5 in. long, stalked, the lower ones oblong-lanceolate: calyx conspicuous, loose, composed of 4 more or less united greenish yellow sepals, each½-¾in. long. B.M. 6938. Gn. 33:510; 45, p. 333. I.H. 36:76. J.H. III. 30:33; 42:39; 55:521. G.C. III. 3:209. R.H. 1890, p. 274.—Once offered by John Saul, Washington, D. C. Also cult, outdoors in S. Calif. It needs but a glance at any of the colored portraits of O. pulchella to see that it is one of the most interesting climbers cult, in hothouses. It has ivory- white trumpet-shaped sweet-scented fls. 2 in. long and 1 in. across, borne profusely in clusters of a dozen or more. A plant 2 years old from cuttings will clothe the rafters and bloom freely, the weight of the clusters causing the fls. to droop gracefully. The prominent calyx suggests Clerodendron Thompsons', a near relative. As the corolla-tube leaves the calyx, it makes a bend and then broadens into a funnel-shaped fl., with the 4 lobes scarcely spreading. The appearance of the fls. is enhanced by the long style and the 2 stamens, which are thrust out and strongly curved. It is reported as thriving in a winter temperature of 55-60°; it requires a warmer place than the ordinary greenhouse. It blooms well in the winter months. It prop, readily by cuttings placed around the side of a pot; also from seeds, which it matures in considerable numbers. }} ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> *[[Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture]], by L.
