Tropaeolum tricolor, Sweet, emended by Lindl. (Sweet spelled the specific name tricolorum, but, as Lindley pointed out, this is orthographically incorrect) (T. coccineum, Miers). Fig. 3857. Perennial from a fleshy or tuberous root, half-hardy, climbing: lvs. peltate, orbicular, divided into 6 oblong villous lfts.: fls. about 1 in. long, somewhat cornucopia-shaped, the calyx being the conspicuous part; main part of the calyx vermilion, the short lobes purplish, the small petals yellow. Chile.—Very choice half-hardy plant and probably the best known in this country of the tuberous-rooted kinds. Usually grown indoors. Its growth is very delicate. Var. grandiflorum, Hort. (T. Jarattii, Paxt. T. Yarattii, Buchen.), differs only in having larger fls. CH
