junioribus caulibusque villosissimis, stipulis bracteisque cordatis apiculatis, 
pedunculis 4-floris. 
A beautiful greenhouse climber, obtained from Swan 
River seeds sent home by Sir James Stirling. Our first 
specimens were communicated by Mrs. Marryat, we after- 
wards received others from the garden of Mr. Robert 
Mangles. It flowers abundantly from April to July, pro- 
ducing a striking appearance with its numerous scarlet 
blossoms. 
As it is easily propagated by cuttings it will soon become 
a common plant. . 
Different as this is from .K. prostrata it is not easy to fix 
upon any very decisive mark of distinction. It is much 
larger in allits parts, and very much more hairy ; in fact 
its young leaves and stems are perfectly shaggy. The 
leaflets are larger, far more wavy, and shorter than their 
stalk. The flowers grow about four in a cluster, instead of 
two, or being altogether solitary. The fruit we have not 
seen.
