Bougainvillea glabra, Choisy. Fig. 605. Grows 10 and more ft. high and wide, when planted in the ground and allowed to have its way; glabrous: lvs. ovate and acuminate, glabrous and bright green: bracts cordate-ovate, bright rosy red, distinctly veined. Brazil. G.C. III. 23:168; 30: 265. Gn. 54, p. 257; 64, p. 353. R.H. 1889:276. A.G. 16:15. A.F. 11:1371. F.E. 10:106.—Free-flowering and handsome; often grown in pots and kept dwarf. Var. Sanderiana, Hort. Very floriferous, blooming even in very small pots. Gn. 45:418. A.F. 10:307; 11:977; 12:1185. Gng. 4:281; 5:345. G. 27:457.—A very worthy plant both for pot culture or as a shrub or climber. Often blooms when 1 ft. high, but reaches a height of 10-20 ft. Var. Cypheri, Hort. A much larger and finer plant than the type; the large and bright-colored deep rose bracts are freely produced in long plumose clusters on all the principal growths, and are more highly colored than those of the var. Sanderiana. It may be treated the same as var. Sanderiana as to cult. It is an acquisition as a decorative plant. Var. variegata, Hort. Lvs. prettily variegated with creamy white; useful as a neat and quick-growing foliage plant for summer bedding.
