“when Cl. eirrhosa grows in the plains of Majorca, near 
Palma, Campos, Artä, Alcudia, Pollenza, its leaves are 
nearly entire, or slightly saw-toothed ; but when it reaches 
the mountains of Esporlas, Valdemosa, kc. the leaves become 
gradually three-lobed, palmated, or almost digitate. I possess 
several specimens which I gathered on the top of Puig-major, 
twelve hundred yards above the sea, in which the leaves are 
not only palmate, but their segments are divided, nearly to 
the base, into narrow almost linear and toothed divisions.” 
When those who study these plants in their native places 
are unable to agree as to their distinctness, we, who know 
them only in cultivation, may be pardoned if, for the sake 
of convenience at least, we regard them as so many species. 
C. pedicellata does, in fact, seem very different from C. cir- 
rhosa, if C. semitriloba does not; for its very blunt leaves, its 
small involucre at a considerable distance from the flower, 
and the small size of the flower itself, are remarkable. We 
have it wild from Sardinia under the name of C. balearica, 
with its garden peculiarities. 
. It is a tolerably hardy climbing shrub, which is only 
injured by such winters as that of 1837-8, and well suited for 
training on low walls or trellis, as it is not a very rapid grow- 
ing kind. It thrives in any good loamy soil, is increased by 
cuttings of the half-ripened wood, treated in the usual way, 
and flowers twice during the year, namely, in spring and 
autumn. 
It was presented to the Horticultural Society several years 
ago, by Messrs. Lee, of the Hammersmith Nursery.
