showed no disposition to flower. At Berlin, and no doubt 
in England, and, probably, in more genial seasons, in Scot- 
land, it will blossom in the open air. The T. Smithi, De 
Canp., (T. peregrinum Sm., not Liny.,) answers to this 
somewhat in the general structure of the flowers, but is 
quite different in the foliage. It is a great acquisition to 
our collections. 
Descr. Stems long and twining, branched, terete, suc- 
culent, green, often tinged with purple. Leaves on more 
or less twisted petioles, peltate, nearly orbicular, but trun- 
cate at the base, with from seven to nine shallow lobes at 
the margin, each lobe obtuse, but with a callous point ofa 
dull orange colour. Stipules none. Peduncles much lon- 
ger than the petioles, often twisted and scandent. Flowers 
moderately large, exceedingly handsome. Calyx of five 
very deep, ovate, bright-red, acute sepals: the spur twice 
their length, tapering, but obtuse and slightly bifid at the 
very point. Petals longer than the calyx: the three lower 
ones spathulate, bright orange, marked with red veins, the 
lamina deeply cut all round into a bright-red fringe, the 
claw, long, narrow, with long, red ciliz : two upper petals 
scarcely longer than the lower, wedge-shaped, veined and 
coloured as the rest, deeply fringed at the broad apex, 
destitute of ciliz. Stamens eight, shorter than the petals. 
Anthers subglobose; pollen green. Ovary deeply three- 
lobed : Style shorter than the stamens: Stigma unequally 
three cleft.
