S. 1. Foliis 3-foliolatis, cariná rectá vezillo sublongiore. D. C. 
K. nigricans; foliolis ovato-oblongis obtusis solitariis ternatisve, racemis sim- 
plicibus, floribus erectis, calycibus villosis basi angustatis. 
Frutex volubilis, facie K. rubicunde; sed foliola latiora, obtusiora, sepe 
solitaria, magis reticulata, racemi simplices net paniculati; flores erecti, se- 
cundi, quasi resupinati, nec penduli; calyces multo angustiores et villosiores ; 
demum petala purpureo-nigra maculá oblongá viridi in discum vezilli. 
A fine addition to the species of green-house twiners, 
native of New Holland, where its seeds were collected by 
Dr. Nisbet. Our specimens were supplied from the garden 
of Boyd Miller, Esq. of Collier's Wood, near Mitcham. 
It is very near K. rubicunda, from which it differs not 
only in the remarkable colour of the petals, but also in its 
broader and more reticulated leaves, and in its much more 
compact inflorescence, the flowers of which stand erect, 1n- 
stead of being pendulous, as in that species. It flowers 1n 
April.
