From Alberto Castillo:

1. Cormlets of Tritonia deusta (W). As the other Tritonias, a late flowerer,
when 90% of Cape bulbs have finished doing it. Among these corms some belong
to a very fine form of "variety miniata" in which there is a dark red spot
surrounded with black on each outer tepal. Striking.

2. Tubers of Anredera cordifolia (Boussingaultia gracilis) (S). This is a
native climber for warm climates. Flowers are abundant but insignificant in
white spikes much like in Dioscoreas. The foliage, round, thick, fleshy, and
a light green is very attractive on meshes over walls or treillages. Also
excellent to cover wire mesh. The foliage is evergreen and resist frosts to
-5 C. Full sun.
