Beaumontia (after Mrs. Beaumont, of Bretton Hall,Yorkshire, England). Apocynaceae. Hothouse white- flowered twiner. Corolla funnelform, short-tubed, without scales in the throat, with 5 broad lobes; stamens 5, included, attached to corolla; disk 5-lobed or of 5 scales. The genus is more nearly allied to the familiar greenhouse shrub Trachelospermum jasminoides than to the splendid tropical climbers in Allamanda and Dipladenia.— Four or 5 Indian or Javanese trees or tall climbers, with very large, white, fragrant, bell-shaped fls. in terminal cymes. B. grandiflora has been neglected of late, presumably because it needs so much room. It should be planted out in strong, fibrous, loamy soil of a warm- house, as it rarely succeeds in pots. It is best trained to the roof, as full light is necessary for flowering, if not for growth. The shoots may be thinned if the large leaves cast too much shade on the plants beneath. The wood should be well ripened to produce an abundance of winter bloom. The flowers are produced on the growth of the previous season. After flowering, the plant should be severely pruned to produce lateral shoots for the next season's bloom. In its native country, this vine climbs over very tall trees. B. fragrant, Pierre. Evergreen shrub with white, fragrant, shallow bell-shaped fls. Cochin China.—B. Jerdoniana, Wight. Similar to the above but with smaller parts, and with follicles 10 in. long. Cult. only in rare collections.
