wideset teeth at the edge, otherwise entire, the terminal one 
the largest, and from about an inch and half to about two: 
inches long, about one broad: petioles wiry, often twining, 
thinly furred, channelled above, partial ones shorter than 
the leaflets. Flowers white, axillary and terminal, in 
corymbs of about five, upright, together with their pe- 
duncles shorter than the leaves; common peduncles opposite, 
thick, very short, 3 or 5 times divided, and sometimes 
oftener, with two opposite wide-spreading linear furred 
bractes ; partial ones long, filiform, somewhat roughly furred, 
longer than the corolla, furnished below their middle with 
two small opposite patent hirsute bractes. Corolla 4-petal- 
led, campanulate, upright, sometimes slightly unequal, 
upwards recurvedly spreading, on the outside cream-co- 
lourcd and villous: petals linearly oblong, bluntly pointed, 
at most about three fourths of an inch long, about 2 lines 
broad. Filaments (in the fertile plant at least) surrounding 
the fascicle of the pistils in a single rank, cream-coloured : 
anthers adnate, pollenless or sterile. Pistils about one 
third shorter than the corolla, close, interlocked by en- 
tangled wool: germens small: styles bristleshaped, long, 
woolly: stigmas continuous, slender, subulate, yellowish. 
The drawing was taken at the nursery of Messrs. 
Whitley, Brames, and Milne, at Fulham, where it was 
cultivated in the greenhouse.
