We do not scruple to distinguish this plant from K. 
monophylla, with which we have seen it confounded in sonoj^^ 
collections, and under the name of which, our specinre^ 
were communicated from the garden of the Comtess©^ de 
Vandes, at Bayswater. The leaves are much broader, of 
different proportions, both with respect to themselves and 
to their footstalk, and acute with a little point. It is, 
doubtless, a native of N. Holland, and requires the same 
treatment as K. monophylla. Our drawing was made in 
April 1825. / 
While preparing this article for the press, the long- 
expected second part of M. De Candollc s Prodronuis has 
reached us, in which wig^d Kennedia occupying a place 
among his tribe of PhaseOT^, which are distinguished from 
other Leguminosae with a curved embryo, by a polysper- 
mous dehiscent pod, and leaves without tendrils, the first 
pair of which, alter germination, is alternate ; by this last 
character the tribe is^parated from Vicie».
