− | Ipomoea horsfalliae, Hook. Fls. many, in a 2-branched cyme; corolla bell-shaped, the limb of 5 broad, rounded lobes, very showy. Cosmopolitan tropics. B.M. 3315. P.M. 3:50. F.S. 16:1647.—Perhaps the most popular ipomoea for winter-flowering in a warmhouse. If well treated it will climb 20-30 ft., and will bear hundreds of fls. each day in early winter. May also be grown out-of-doors, but it will not come into bloom till late fall unless the roots are cramped. var. alba, Hort., is I. ternata; Lady Slade has pale rose fls.; var. briggsii, (I. briggsii, Hort.), or Lady Briggs, is generally considered better than the type for most purposes. It is a freer grower and bloomer, the fls. are a rich magenta- crimson, and it roots from cuttings much more readily than I. horsfalliae. This variety makes a fine plant in a 10-in. pot. G.M. 37:49. var. thompsonii, or I. thomsoniana, Hort., is I. ternata. | + | Ipomoea horsfalliae, Hook.
