PREFACE
Climbers have been known and valued in India for ages.
In Sanskrit literature and in the epics of Kalidasa there are
numerous references to creepers adorning not only the
pleasure gardens of emperors and kings but also the hermitages of saints and rishis. In modern times, the resources of
the plant world have been exploited much more thoroughly
than in the past, for the enjoyment of man. However, although
climbers find a place in books on gardening along with shrubs
and other plants, there is no book available in the country
which is devoted exclusively to these beautiful plants. It is
hoped that this small volume, which is written [or the lay
gardener and not for the botanist or the specialist, will fill a
need.
The number of climbers which have been included is
small compared to the Iich wealth of varieties which is
available in different parts of the world. But it seemed desirable that in a first book of this kind, the selection should
be limited to climbers which are readily available in the
country itself and about which the '..vIiter had some personal
experience. Merely to cull out descriptions of some of the
lovely forms available in other climes would have been
inappropriate. But it is hoped that this brief account of some
of the beautiful climbers already available to the garden
lovers of this country will result in an increase in interest,
in a demand that our nurseries should maintain a better
stock and a wider range of varieties so that one may be able
to choose therefrom what exactly is required for one's garden .
Thjg book has been prepared at the suggest jon ofD)', ~VL S,
R andhawa, Vice-President of the Indian Council of Agricultural Research, who is not only a noted authority in the
fields of Botany and Agriclliture but also well-known for his
love of beautiful trees and other omame ntal plants. But for
his unfailing interest, constant encouragement and assistance,

INTRODUCTION
A traveller wandering through the green forest may
suddenly come across a lwilliant patch of colour; some
climbing plant with beautiful flowers is displaying its beauty.
Or a person walking through the forest of bricks, stones and
cement which constitute our towns may come aeloss a
building, relieved from the commonplace, by a beautiful
climber planted at an appl'Opriate spot. It has been said by
some cynic that whilst a doctor can bury his mistakes, an
architect can only cover his with creepers. However, it is not
only the occasional lapses of the builder which need the help
ofa charming climber, but well-designed houses also can have
their beauty enhanced by the planting of a few carefully
chosen climbing plants which will literally provide cascades
of colour.
This small book is intended primalily for the gardeltel and
the plant lover who docs not wish to bother with a lot of
technical detail. J n many cases a large number of species
and varieties exist and thele is a gl-eat deal of coruusion about
the names. Many pages can be written explaining why certain
names have been preferred and certai n others left out. The
object in the present case, however, is to present onl y such
information as is likely to be of interest and help to the lay
gardener. He would like to know as to which are the best
varieties and how to grow them to perfection. The latter is a
task which it is difficult to g ive advice about. There is unfortunately very little published information regarding the
behaviour of particular plants under different conditions. For
instance it makes quite a lot of difference to a climher whether
it is grown on the side of the house facing north or south or
east or west. Very few persons have experience of having
grown a large collection of climbers under varying conditions
of light, temperature and humidity. What is given in the
following pages IS, therefore, a summary, a crystallization of

Some of them have been directly taken from the wild state,

add to the beauty of his garden. Others, however, have been
subjected by plant breeders to considerable selection and
hybridisation to produce yet ne\\'cr forms, sometimes of

Allamanda cathartica
Allamallda catlwrtica is a very popular and colourful plant,
prized both for its large yellow flowers and bright green,
narrow pointed leaves arranged in whorls of four. The
corolla, tubular at the base and funnelled above into five
lobes, has its beauty further enriched by the orange streaks
lining its inside. Flowering throughout the year, althoug-h to
perfection only in the hot and rainy slimmer months, the
plant attains a good size and can be grown to advantage
either as a garden shrub or as a climber to adorn the verandah
with its many attractive flowers.
The native land of A. cailzariica is tropical America from
where it has spread far and wide and is now grown in all
tropical or sub-tropical parts of the world. The plant shows
best growth in a mixt ure of fibrous loam (3 parts) and wood
cha rcoal ( 1 part), a nd responds we ll to heavy manuring during
the growing season. During this period, it also requires a lot
of watering wit h free drainage. It is easily propagated by
cuttings and layers. \'Vhe n g rown in pots it should be re-potted
every year, pruning the shoots in winter to a manageable
size.
A number of varieties of A. cathartica arc a,oailable, a lthough
some of these such as schotti and nobilis which are among the
best known have sometimes been accorded the status of
synonymous or sep<lrate species. The varieties differ mostly
in the growth habi t of their plants and the size of their flowers.
One very commonly g rown, apart from schottl, is nobilis
because of its capacity for prolonged flowering over a period
of months. The flowers of this variety are noted also for their
fragrance. Gralldijlora has superb large yellow flowers .
Another species of ALlamanda which deserves mention
because of i ts distinctive colou r of flowers is violacea. The roots
of this slender-growing climber howeyer develop very poorly
and for this reason it is usual to g raft it On the scholti variety.

shrub, which is noted, above all, fOI' its large size, and which
reveals its real heauty during the late winter months when
it is laden with large trusses of pleasantly perfumed fto\overs .
In the Gitagovinda, the limbs of the beautiful Radha are compared to the flowers of this shrub. The plant, attaining a height
of nearly 15 feet and having leaves which are about six inches
long and nearly haJf as broad, takcs lot of space and requires a
heavy support for climbing. The flowe rs occurring in term inal
and axillary groups arc of relatively small size, covered with
soft silky hai)'s on most parts and have a corolla which is
consti tuted of four equal and one very much smaller petal.
This latter is of a golden colour in contrast to the white of the
other four. Another very distinctive feature of the flowers is
that of their ten anthers, one is very much longer than the rcst.

OF INDIA
The genus Solaman which contains some important vegetables like the potato and the brinjal, also provides a number
of beautiful garden plants including some climbers. Of these,
S. wendlandii, a relatively recent introduction in this country
is undoubtedly the most beautiful. A tall climber, it has an
imposing appearance with its large lilac blue Rowers which
are assembled on repeatedly branched floral axes, bending
down wi th their weight. Very regular in their form, each
flower is constituted b y a yel"), short calyx and a rather la rge
paper-thin corolla which has its five lobes very much spread
out as if stretched mechanically. The leaves in S. wendlandii
a re. variously defted and a!ternately arranged, and with
their brilliant green colour provide an excellent background
for the flowers to display their bcauty.
The plant is a native of Costa Rica but adapted to do well
in most tropical and sub-tropical parts of the wo rld. Tn I ndia,
it appears to succeed best in Ollr hill stations and in cool
portions of the D eccan tableland. It can be multiplied by
seed or more easil y by cuttings taken from ripe wood and
planted in a sandy soi l. It has been known to grow wet!
under a variety of conditions, although it has been suggested
that it prefers partial shade.
A second species of So/anum which is also a pop ular climber
is jasminoides or the Potato Vine producing star-shaped
Rowers of fa in tly bluish white colour in large clusters througho ut the summer months.

Trachelospermum jasminoides
(Rhyncospermum jasminoides)
T. Jasmil!oides is a delicately-formed climbing shl'ub whose
pure white, deliciously fragrant flowers make it a most desirable plant to have about the house. Laden with myriads of
jasmine-like blossoms in the hot summer months, th e plant
is refreshing to behold and revives the spirits. An evergreen
climber, it ma kes a rcasonabte amount of growth. In view
of i ts free-growing habit and pretty foliage, the plant is trained
by some in the form of a compact bush. The flowers borne on
long peduncles have five sep a ls which are small and spread
out, and a corolla with a short tubular base and a star-shaped
upper portion which is irregular, but artistically so, in its
outline. The leaves, which a l'e dark green and smooth with
beautifully patterned veins are shortly petioled and arranged
opposite each other.
Originally from China, T. jasrninoides is so well adapted
to our conditions that India may be considered its second
home. Although the plant is not very sensitive in the matter
of its soil requirements, it takes several years to develop a
good size specimen. Propagation however is easily done by
cuttings of half ripe wood or by means of layers during the
rainy season.
A grea t merit of this climber, which belongs to the
Apocynaceae, a family characterised by milky juice which
exudes wherever the plant is wounded, is its ability to thrive
in shady positions.
