KENNEDY 4.—Supra, vol. 11." fol. 944. 
K. glabrata ; foliolis 3 cuneatis mucronatis glabris petiolis caulibusque pilosis, 
stipulis late ovatis acutis, bracteis deciduis, pedunculis foliorum longitudine 
subsexfloris. 
A specimen of this very pretty greenhouse climber was 
communicated to me by Mr. Knight of the King's Road, in 
May, 1835. It isa No Holland plant, probably from the 
South coast, and very distinct from all that have hitherto 
been figured. 
The slender wiry hairy stems, broad ovate sharp-pointed 
stipules, and smooth leaves, with wedge-shaped leaflets, 
which are shining and almost entirely destitute of hairiness, 
sufficiently mark the species. 
À hardy greenhouse shrub, propagated by cuttings. 
None of the Kennedyas which I have yet seen have so 
clear and bright a scarlet as this; and the effect of the colour, 
brilliant as it is, is much set off by the green spot bordered 
with deep brown, at the base of the standard.
