Comesperma
(from kome, hair, and sperma, a seed; in allusion to the tufts of hair at the ends of the seeds). ORD. Polygaleoe. A genus of about twenty-five species of greenhouse herbs, under-shrubs or shrubs, erect or twining, all natives of Australia. Flowers small, disposed in compound panicles or simple racemes. Bracts, two or three, at the base of the flowers. They thrive in a mixture of sandy loam and peat, with thorough drainage. Young cuttings will root freely, if planted in sand, under a bell glass. Comespermas, although well worth cultivating, are but rarely seen in English gardens. C. gracilis (slender). A synonym of C. volubilis.

Stems numerous, very slender. 1834. A very slow-growing and pretty suffruticose twiner. SYN. C. gracilis. (P. M. B. 5, 145.)
