Trichosporum (Greek, hair and seed; seeds with 1 or more long hairs at the ends). Syn., Aeschynanthus. Gesneriaceae. Subshrubs or shrubs, often climbing over trees, glabrous or rather villous, grown in the warmhouse.
Lvs. opposite, fleshy or leathery: fls. showy, scarlet, greenish or yellow and green mixed, fascicled in the axils or at the ends of the branches, rarely solitary; calyx truncate, 5-cleft or 5-parted; corolla-tube elongated, ventricose or broadened above; limb somewhat 2-lipped, usually strongly oblique; perfect stamens 4; disk annular, usually thick, cup-shaped; ovary superior, oblong or linear: caps. long-linear, 2-valved.— About 55 species, India, Malaya, and E. Trop. Asia.
These beautiful free-flowering plants are propagated by cutting the branches that have been made during the season of growth into lengths of about 2 inches, having two leaves attached and another joint to insert in the sand. They root in about a month in a close frame when the temperature top and bottom is maintained around 70°. Being epiphytal under natural conditions, these plants like a loose open material to grow in, and equal parts of osmunda fiber and sphagnum moss to which plenty of broken charcoal has been added are the best potting material. Shallow pans are best to grow them in, and provision should be made for the water to pass freely through them. The plants should not be allowed to flower the first season, the aim being to secure a good foundation for a future plant, and this is done by pinching the shoots three or four times during the season, growing them in a night temperature of 65°. In winter they may be kept 5° cooler and given enough water to prevent shriveling. The plants should not be stopped the second season, but allowed to run to flower; but after they have finished flowering they may be pruned back to within 6 inches of the base of the plant. Trichosporums should be grown hung from the roof of the house, near the glass, and when the sun gets strong they should have a light shade. When well rooted in the pan they are growing in, manure-water should be given. These plants are not subject to insect pests.
T. Boschianum, Kuntze (Aeschynanthus Boschiana, De Vr. AE. Lamponga, Miq.). Lvs. ovate or elliptic, obtusish, entire: calyx cylindrical, glabrous; corolla twice as long (2 in.), pubescent, scarlet. Sumatra, P.M. 13:175.—T. fulgens, Kuntze (Aeschynanthus fulgens, Wall.). Lvs. lanceolate: calyx tubular, short-toothed, glabrous; corolla about 2 in. long, orange-red, pubescent. E. Indies. B.M. 4891.—T. javanicum, Kuntze (Aeschynanthus javanica, Hook.). Allied to T. pulchrum: differs in having a pubescent calyx and corolla. B.M. 4503. F.S. 6:558.—T. longiflorum, Kuntze (Aeschynanthus longiflora, Blume). Vigorous: lvs. 3-5 in. long: calyx deeply cut, the divisions linear-subulate; corolla tubular, scarlet, very long; fls. fascicled. Java. B.M. 4328. P.M. 15:25.—T. macro-calyx, Kuntze (Aeschynanthus macrocalyx, C. B. Clarke). Lvs. 4-5 in. long, fleshy, oblong, acuminate: fls. axillary, solitary; calyx 1 3/4 in. long, lobes narrowly lanceolate, acuminate; corolla cylindrical-funnel-shaped, scarlet with dark purple nerves and spots. Siam.— T. marmoratum, Kuntze (Aeschynanthus marmorata, F. Moore. AE. zebrina, Van Houtte). Lvs. 3 1/2 in. long, oblong-lanceolate, obovate-lanceolate or ovate, acuminate, reddish purple beneath: fls. axillary; corolla-tube green, curved, segms. ciliate, blotched with chocolate-brown. Habitat unknown.—T. miniatum, Kuntze (Aeschynanthus miniata, Lindl.). Fls. vermilion, in 3's in the axils of the oval or elliptic entire lvs.; corolla pubescent. Java, Borneo. P.M. 16:65.— T. speciosum, Kuntze Aeschynanthus speciosa. Hook. AE. splendens, Lindl. & Paxt.). Branches knotty: lvs. large, oval-lanceolate, nearly sessile, upper ones verticillate or in 3's: fls. fascicled, numerous: calyx with linear-subulate divisions; corolla large, orange-red, curved. Java. B.M. 4320. P.M. 14:199. Gn. 51:188.—T. tricolor, Kuntze (Aeschynanthus tricolor, Hook.). Lvs. small, oval or lanceolate, hairy at the base: calyx obconic, pubescent; corolla small, pubescent, blood-red, throat orange, upper lobes striped black or purple; fls. mostly twin. Borneo. B.M. 5031. R.B.10:7. I.H. 5:169. F.S. 13:1384.
