Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Jacquemontia (after Victor Jacquemont, a French naturalist; died 1832). Convolvulaceae. Subtropical and tropical mostly climbing herbs, grown for the convolvulus-like bloom.

Allied to Ipomoea and Convolvulus, to which they are probably inferior for garden cult. They are distinguished from Ipomoea by having 2 stigmas instead of 1; and from Convolvulus by having the stigmas ovate or oblong instead of linear-filiform to subulate. Lvs. entire, or rarely toothed or lobed: fls. not large, blue, white or violet, in either dense clusters or loose racemes, sometimes even solitary; corolla more or less campanulate, the plicate limb 5-angled or obscurely 5-lobed.祐pecies 60-70 in Trop. Amer. and as far north as S. C., also 1 in Trop. Afr. and 1 in Hawaii.

Jacquemontia pentantha makes an attractive greenhouse climber for summer and autumn flowering, but is not so desirable for this purpose as several species of Ipomoea. It is likely to become leggy. Propagated readily by seeds or cuttings. For cultural directions, see Ipomoea.
