Petrea volubilis, Jacq. Purple Wreath. Fig. 2878. Twining: lvs. 3-4
in. long, short-stalked, ovate, elliptic or oblong, acuminate or
obtuse, entire or wavy: fls. blue, in terminal elongated racemes (7-8
in. long); calyx with a tube one-fourth to one-half as long as the
pedicel, and in fr. one-third to one-fourth as long as the narrow
lobes; corolla included in the calyx. Cuba to Brazil; a sha.vy plant.
B.M. 628. G.C. III. 39:24, 25; 45:252; 51.287. J.H. III. 54:390. G.
29:192. H.F. 8:50. F.E. 23:582. F.C. 3:108. Gn. 12:40—The purple
wreath is one of the most distinct and beautiful of tender climbers.
The fls. are like a 5-pointed star of lilac with a violet in the
middle. The fls. begin to open at the base of the raceme and the
showy 5-pointed star is the calyx, whose sepals are colored like
petals. The calyx spreads open while the corolla is still a round bud
in the middle, and it remains after the corolla has fallen, so that
the vine, at first glance, seems to bear two kinds of fls. The blooms
appear hi March and April. It does not bloom freely in small plants;
it probably has other drawbacks, for it has always been a rare plant
in Eu., though enthusiastically commended. Offered in S. Calif. The
fls. seem to vary considerably in color. Wilhelm Miller.
