Petrea (Robert James Lord Petre, 1710-1742, a patron of botany who
had the finest collection of exotic plants in Europe). Sometimes
spelled Petraea. Verbe- naceax. Tropical American woody plants, one
of which is a choice blue- or purple-flowered climber.
Twining or arborescent shrubs: lvs. opposite, leathery,
pinnate-veined: fls. violet, purple or bluish, in long terminal
racemes; calyx with 5 scales in the throat; calyx-lobes colored
during anthesis but often becoming green and rigid in fr.; corolla
usually a little more intensely colored; limb 5-cut, oblique, the
tube short and cylindrical; stamens 4, didynamous; ovary imperfectly
2-loculed; locules 1-ovuled: fr. included in calyx, indehiscent,
2-celled and 2-seeded or 1-seeded by abortion.—Species about a dozen,
Mex., W. Indies to Brazil.
Petrea is well adapted to be grown with other stove climbers. The
plants do well when trained to a balloon- shaped or flat wire frame,
to pillars, or carried near the roof, where they add greatly to the
beauty of the house. When it is intended to plant them out in the
border, the first point to be considered is the drainage in the pot.
This is best effected by placing a layer of brick rubbish of about 4
to 5 inches. This will keep the compost from becoming sour or
stagnant in the pot. For a compost, use turfy loam four parts, turfy
peat one part, well-decayed cow-manure one part, with admixture of a
liberal quantity of sharp gritty sand. By the end of January the
temperature may be increased to about 62° for night with 10° to 15°
higher by day. Just as soon as they show renewed vigor they will not
stand to become dry at the roots. They will want a good syringing
over and under the foliage every morning on bright days. Give enough
ventilation to keep the air pure and sweet. In midsummer they need
some shade if only during the most powerful sunshine. When they are
well established, they will be benefited by liquid manure once a
week. For midsummer the temperature may be allowed to run up 80° or
85° with sun, and a night temperature of 70°. They are easily
propagated from shoot-cuttings placed in a brisk bottom heat and
subjected to the usual condition of moisture and shade required for
other plants. When they are wanted to grow in pots, keep shifting
until they are in 8- or 10- inch pots. The compost may be renewed in
the spring. (J. J. M. Farrell.)
