Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture

Aristolochia elegans, Mast. Calico Flower. Slender, glabrous, the fls. borne on the pendulous young wood: Lvs. long-stalked, reniform-cordate, 2-3 in. across, with wide sinus and rounded basal lobes, the tip obtuse: fls. solitary, long-stalked, the tube yellow-green, 1½ in. long, the limb cordate-circular, 3 in. across, purple and white blotched, white on the exterior, the eye yellow: not strong-smelling. Brazil. G.G. II. 24:301; III. 22: 123.1 B.M. 6909.—A small-fld. and graceful, free- blooming species. A most desirable decorative climber for a warm greenhouse of 55° F. but does not thrive so well in a stove. It is entirely devoid of the unpleasant odor which is characteristic of the fls. of this genus. In Fla. it self-sows freely; and the hanging basket-like frs. are very attractive.
