| Shrubby plants climbing by lf.-tendrils, but known in cult. as herbs: lvs. alternate, pinnate: calyx large, 5-parted; corolla bell-shaped, the limb 5-lobed: caps. 3-valved, angled: fls. solitary on long peduncles, bracted at the base.—A genus of about 10 Trop. American climbers (monographed by Brand in Engler's Pflanzenreich, hft. 27, 1907), of which C. scandens, a tender perennial plant, is amongst the dozen most popular vines commonly treated as annuals. This is the only genus of climbers in the order. Prop. by seeds which should be placed in moist earth, edge down.
