In the Var. Macrobotrys

In the Var. Macrobotrys - Flowers a paler shade of blue-purple, and the racemes longer, the flowers being farther apart. A variegated form is not worth a place.

In the Var. Macrobotrys Frutescens - The only species found wild in the New World. It is a climber, but not a strong grower, the flowers pale blue-purple, arranged densely in racemes 3 to 8 inches long in June. There are two varieties in cultivation, one, magnifica, has racemes over 1 foot in length; the second is a white form.

Japanese Glycine (In the Var. Macrobotrys Multijuga) - A very beautiful plant with racemes often between 2 and 3 feet long, flowering a fortnight later than the Chinese Glycine, the blossoms much less closely packed on the spikes. The color varies in different plants, but it is always a variation of delicate lilac and white. The variety alba has flowers wholly white, and there are two forms of the plant in cultivation, one with shorter racemes. The newest form is one called rosea, with flowers of a delicate shade of rosy-lilac. Variety Russelliana has dark flowers with a pale central blotch.—W.J.B.
