The old Genus Kennepya is, now, by Mr. Benruam pro- 
perly divided into several-Genera, and one of these is the 
Zicuya of Baron Hueet, to which belong besides the Z. 
Molly, Hueex, on which the Genus itself was founded; the 
old Kennepya coccinea, Vent. (Bot. Mag. tab. 2664); K. 
tnophylla, Linpu.; K. dilatata, Au. Cunn.; Z. tricolor, 
Linvt. ; and the subject of our present plate. They form a 
very natural group, and are all natives of New Holland, the 
present of the West coast. The seeds have been sent from 
the Swan River Settlement, to the Glasgow Botanic Gar- 
den, where the plant produced its lively red blossoms in the 
early part of summer. It succeeds well in a common green- 
house ; but the stems require support. 
_ Descr. Stems slender, much branched, procumbent, as 
it appears, rather than a climber, hairy as well as the peti- 
oles. Leaves trifoliolate, the leaflets obovato-cuneate, re- 
tuse, with a mucro, glabrous. Petioles an inch, or an inch 
and a half long, having at the base two rather large, cor- 
date acuminate, foliaceous stipules ; there are also minute 
Stipules at the base of the leaflets. Peduncles hairy, axil- 
lary, about as long as the leaf, including the petiole, bear- 
ing a somewhat capitate raceme of from four to six or eight 
bright scarlet flowers : the vexillum alone having in the 
centre near the claw, a wedge-shaped, pale yellow green 
spot with a deep red margin around it. Calyx tubular, 
nearly equally five-toothed. Ovary gradually tapering 
into the subulate style.
