Cleome spinosa, Jacq. (C. pungens, Willd. C. gigantea, Hort., not Linn.). Giant Spider Plant. Clammy, strong-scented, 3-4 ft. high: Lfts. usually 5, sometimes 7, oblong-lanceolate, with a pair of short stipular spines under the petioles of most of the Lvs., and in the tropics some little prickles on the petioles also: fls. rose-purple, varying to white; petals 4, obovate, clawed, ½in. long; stamens 2-3 in. long, blue or purple. N. C. to La. (naturalized from Trop. Amer.) and escaped from gardens.—A tender biennial north, but annual in the tropics. The plant recently intro. as C. gigantea is not the true species, which is a green-fld. S. American plant as yet apparently unknown in the trade in this country. C. spinosa differs widely in the extent and character of its spines. The fls. vary in the development of the style.
