Cleome (meaning uncertain). Capparidaceae. Odd spider-flowered plants sometimes grown in the flower garden.

Cleome (meaning uncertain). Capparidaceae. Odd spider-flowered plants sometimes grown in the flower garden.

Sub-shrubs or annual herbs, simple or branched, glabrous or glandular, with simple Lvs. or 3-7 Lfts., and white, green, yellow or purplish fls. borne singly or in racemes; petals entire, with claws.— Seventy tropical species, in both hemispheres. The genus is distinguished from Gynandropsis by its short torus, which often bears an appendage, and by the 4-6, rarely 10, stamens.

The garden cleomes are chiefly interesting for their long purple spidery stamens and showy rose-colored petals. They succeed in sandy soils and sunny situations, and can be used like castor-oil plants to fill up large gaps in a border. C. spinosa is the best, and has lately been planted considerably in public parks amongst shrubbery. Propagated by seeds, which are produced freely in long slender pods borne on long stalks.
