of Messrs. Veitch and Sons, in whose stove, at Exeter, it bloomed 
in August, 1847. The flowers are among the largest of the 
genus, and variegated with dull green and reddish brown.

\w.Leedm\ foliis fere omnibus integris. 
Hab. Peru, Columbia, Mexico. Yar. Leedsn, Bolivia, Bridges. tiUt. 
in Hort. B. Leeds, 1847. 
A hardy, creeping, herbaceous, but apparently perennial species, 
raised by Mr. Leeds, of Manchester, from seeds collected in 
Bolivia by Bridges. It may, perhaps, prove a distinct species, 
for the leaves can be scarcely said to be pinnatifid in every part 
of the plant, but resemble those of the upper portion of most of 
my native specimens of the true C. chelidonioides. It clearly be¬ 
longs to Mr. Bentham’s Aposecos section ; of wNick C. pirmata 
is the type. If it proves new, as is more than probable, I should 
wish it to be called C. LeedsH, in comphment to a gentleman 
of Manchester, E. Leeds, Esq., who reared it from seed, and Mho 
is indefatigable in introducing new plants into om’ gardens.
