About 5 species of Mexican climbers, with usually halberd-shaped Ivs. and showy, irregular trum- pet-shaped fls., white, rose, purple and blue, the throat usually white or light-colored. The Hs. are somewhat 2- lipped. The commonest species is M. Barrlaiana^ which is procurable in a greater range of colors than the others. Maurandias are desirable vines for winter- flowering in cool greenhouses, but since they bloom the first year from seed, they are almost wholly grown for summer bloom outdoors and treated like tender annuals. They have a slender habit and grow about 10 ft. in a season. In the fall the vines may be taken up and re- moved into the house if desired. Botanically, this genus is nearest to the snapdragon, though the throat of the flower is not closed. The plant known to the trade chiefly as Manrandia ayitlrrlUniflora is now referred to Antirrhinum.
