Stauntonia (named for Sir G. L. Staunton, physician, 1740-1801). Lardizabalaceae. Scandent shrubs, hardy and evergreen, useful for ornamental purposes: lvs. digitately parted, 3-7 lfts.: fls. purple or greenish, in axillary corymb-like racemes, monoecious; sepals 6, petaloid, the outer broader; petals none; stamens 6: berry globose, finally splitting open.—About 10 species, China and Japan.

The stauntonias are beautiful evergreen climbers and well adapted to the soil and climate of the South Atlantic and Gulf regions. Both S. hexaphylla and the related Holboellia latifolia (known also as Stauntonia latifolia) grow well in the writer's Florida garden, although they are not such very luxuriant climbers as are the allamandas, thunbergias, and bignonias. It requires a few years before they are fully established. They are excellent subjects to be planted on old stumps and on small trees, such as catalpa and mulberry trees, which they perfectly cover in the course of time with their pretty evergreen leaves and their rather insignificant but powerfully fragrant flowers. They will not flourish in dry hot sandy soil, demanding for their welfare rather moist shady spots containing a profusion of humus. A little commercial fertilizer containing a fair amount of nitrogen and potash will also prove very beneficial. The need of some kind of a stimulant is shown by the plant itself, which assumes a rather yellowish cast in the green color of the foliage. A few days after it has received some plant-food the foliage shows a very beautiful dark green color. These two species and the beautiful Kadsura japonica are valuable additions to the garden flora of the southern states.
