Cynanchum acuminatifolium, Hemsl. (Vincetoxicum acuminatum, Decne. V. japonicum, Hort.). Mosquito Plant. Cruel Plant. Perennial: erect or nearly so, or the tips showing a somewhat twining habit: sts. grayish and more or less angular: Ivs. opposite, broadly ovate and acuminate, short-petioled, strongly pinnate-veined, entire, usually conspicuously gray-pubescent beneath: fl.-clusters lateral (1-2 between the Ivs.), shorter than the Ivs.; fls. white, small, in umbel-like cymes: fr. a milkweed-like follicle. Japan.—In the fls. mosquitos and other insects are caught, much as they are in other asclepiadaceous plants. The native Amsonia Tabernaemontana is sometimes sold as this plant, and it has been figured as such. This plant attracted attention some years ago as a curious garden subject. Other species are mentioned in foreign gardening literature, but they are apparently not in the American trade. C. acutum, Linn., with cordate smooth Ivs. and white or rose-colored fragrant fls., is a climber in S. Eu., reaching 10 or 12 ft. C. formosum, N. E. Br., is glabrous, with petiolate ovate, elliptic or oblong-ovate acuminate Ivs.: fls. in large lateral pedunculate cymes; corolla pale green, deeply lobed; corona tubular - bell - shaped, 15 - crenulate, prominent. Peru. L. H. B. CH
