of a cool greenhouse, where it flowers in the summer 

 months. The Banksian Medal was justly awarded to 

 Mrs. Marryatt for the introduction of this charming 

 climber. 



Descr. A scandent plant, growing to a great length, 

 and bearing many elongated branches, clothed with woolly 

 down mixed with glands. Leaves cordate, deeply three- 

 lobed, above nearly glabrous, strongly marked with 

 sunken nerves, beneath densely covered with white, copious 

 wool, as on the petioles; lobes lanceolate, acute, strongly 

 and sharply serrated. Stipules small, pinnatifid, with 

 subulate often glandular segments. Peduncles short, 

 woolly. Involucre of three cordate, spreading, serrated, 

 glandular bracteas. Calyx with a cylindrical tube, about 

 equal in length with the five-lobed, spreading limb, thickly 

 downy on the outside, the inside almost white ; lobes 

 oblong. Petals five, oblong, rather longer and broader 

 than the lobes of the calyx, rose-coloured. Ray (corona 

 Jilamentosa) of several spreading, blue filaments, arising 

 from a ring-like disk at the mouth of the tube of the 

 calyx. Torus protruded much beyond the mouth of the 

 calyx. Stamens five ; filaments thickened upwards, bearing 

 large yellow anthers. Germens obovate. Styles club- 

 shaped, with thickened stigmas.
