ECCREMOCARPUS (from ekkremes, pendent, and karpos, fruit; in allusion to the fruit). ORD. Bignoniaceae. A genus of elegant half-hardy evergreen climbers. Flowers yellow, red, or golden, tubular, divided into five equal lobes. Leaves opposite, bipinnatisect, terminating in a branched tendril. Stem shrubby. ECCREMOCARPUS scaber is a very popular plant, and proves perfectly hardy in sheltered situations, in the southern counties; also in more northern ones, when the winters are not exceptionally severe. They thrive in any light fertile soil. Seeds may be sown in March, in a gentle heat, and flowers will be produced during the latter part of the same year.
