flowers. Mr. Low finds it the strongest grower of all the 
Kennedyas. 
Most nearly related to Kennedya coccinea, which differs 
in being a more slender plant, with smaller leaves, and 
heads with much fewer flowers in them (never more than 
5 or 6), while in K. inophylla the number varies from 15 
to 20. 
The deep pitch-black hairs with which the calyxes of 
this species are clothed, give the inflorescence a remarkable 
appearance, and form an excellent back-ground for the 
lively red flowers to repose on.
