A native of the tropical part of South America, and 
consequently requiring the heat of a stove. We are 
indebted to Mrs. Marryatt, of Wimbledon, for the specimen 
from which our drawing was taken. It had been received 
in that lady's extensive collection under the name of Banis- 
teria auriculata, which. is quite another species, but of the 
same genus, : 
A handsome climber, flowering in June, July, and 
August, and propagated by cuttings. ! 
The different species of this genus are common in 
Brazil, from whence one would think they might be easily 
obtained. As they are all handsome climbers, they are 
well worth inquiring about. 
* So named in allusion to the singular circumstance of the stigmas of 
this genus being expanded into a sort of leaf.
