Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Morrenia (Professor Charles Morren, Belgian botanist). Asclepiadaceae. Two pubescent twining shrubs of S. Amer., allied to Cynanchum, but differing in its convex 2-lobed stigma (flat or concave in Cynanchum) and the tubular corona, which is longer than the pistils, villose on the inside, and conniving over the pistils. A few other species have been added more recently. The lvs. are opposite and hastate. M. odorata, Lindl., is more or less in cult., and is listed in S. Calif. It has white very fragant fls. in dense cymes in the axils sepals 5 linear corolla roatae the lobes wide – spreading and acuminate corona tubular 5-lobed. Argentina and Paraguay. Has merit for the agreeable vanilla fragrance of its inconspicuous fls. H.U. 5, p. 129. M. brachystephana, Griseb., is a climber from Argentina with ovate, acuminate, hastate or cordate lvs., and loose axillary cymes of pure white star- shaped vanilla-scented fls.
