About 40 species of tropical shrubs, sometimes tall climbers, tendril-bearing: branches long and slender: lvs. alternate, petiolate, penninerved, entire or dentate: fls. in clusters, on axillary and terminal, elongated peduncles; disk 5-lpbed; style 3-fid: caps, with 3 indehiscent berries.—This genus includes the "chawstick" of Jamaica, a rapid-growing, shrubby vine, with pretty heart-shaped lvs., grown sometimes for ornament in the extreme S. It is suitable for screening unsightly objects. The sts. are chewed in the W. Indies. Tooth brushes are made from the frayed ends and tooth-powder from the pulverized wood.
