(H. heteroclita, Hook, f. & Thorn.), hardly to be expected in cult. Lvs. coriaceous, 6-8 in. long, deeply 3-5-lobed, the lobes entire or slightly dentate: fls. dioecious, white, tinged yellow within, the limb of the deeply 5-partcd corolla bearing curling fringes 4 in. long; male fls. in long racemes, females solitary; calyx very long-tubular and slender; stamens 3, exserted; stigmas 3 and 2-fid, exserted: fr. berry-like, spherical, 4-10 in. across, red-brown and tomentose: seeds 2-3 in. long. F.S. 12:1262.—This odd and showy plant is said to require the conditions provided by a temperate greenhouse, although some report it as requiring hothouse treatment. L. H. B.
