Tricuspidaria

Tricuspidaria - T. lanceolata is a lovely flowering shrub from Chili, which has flowered in the open air at Castlewellan and in other sheltered seaside gardens for several years past. At Castlewellan it is planted in a shady border near a large Yew hedge, in peat, leaf soil, and loam in equal proportions. It flowers twice a year, in the spring and in autumn, the color of the flowers being a rich crimson. Being near the sea there is very little frost in ordinary winters, and the plant requires no protection, but in a less favoured place it would be well to pot it and winter it in a cool greenhouse. Syn., Crinodendron Hookerianum.

There has recently come into cultivation a second species named T. dependens, and the fact that this name has for many years been used for the older plant has given rise to much confusion. T. dependens bears white bell-shaped flowers fringed around the mouth, drooping gracefully from the under side of the branches of an elegant evergreen shrub, which thrives in the open air in our warmest coast gardens. Like the older kind, it comes from Chili, and has already reached a height of 7 or 8 feet at Carclew in Cornwall.
