This fine shrub, a native of Cayenne, is not often known to 

 blossom in our collections. When planted in the ground within 

 the hothouse, it mounts to a considerable height, and we 

 have seen it with a tall flexible stem, nearly an inch in 

 diameter; branched and climbing, as usual with the genus, 

 by claspers. Leaves broader than long, 4-5 inches over, half 

 three-lobed, cordate at the base, lobes ovate, obtuse, dark 

 green on the upper side, grey on the under and reticu- 

 lately veined : petioles with from 2 to 4 glandular tubercles: 

 stipules two, opposite, large, parabolical, lanceolate. Pe- 

 duncles solitary, one-flowered, rather thick: involucre of 



b 



flower. Flo a 



fugitive, tender, delightfully fragrant, little less than 

 three inches in diameter. Calyx and corolla nearly of one
