Solanum wendlandii, Hook. f. (S. Wendlandii magnificum, Hort.). Tall-climbing, glabrous, with a few scattered prickles: lvs. various, sometimes 10 in. long, the uppermost simple and oblong-acuminate, the others lobed or trifoliolate and with the terminal lft. much the largest, all with entire margins: fls. in large cymes, pale lilac-blue, the corolla 2 1/2 in. across and shallow-lobed: fr. globose. Costa Rica. —A splendid greenhouse climber, perhaps the most showy of the cult. solanums. Blooms in summer and fall. Ernest Braunton writes: "S. Wendlandii is a magnificent climber in this climate (Los Angeles), reaching 50 ft. or more and having umbels 12 in. across. It is perhaps the showiest vine in Calif. when in bloom. It is generally hardy here, although some winters nip and even kill the vine in the colder and lower parts of this city. Cut up an old vine, any kind of wood, stick the pieces in sand or light soil, and wait. Every cutting will grow. When in a robust condition it is a gross feeder. It should be in full sun, though it does well anywhere." ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
