flowered of the Kennedyas so far introduced to cultivation, 
and is most nearly allied to A. macrophylla, Benth., but is 
readily distinguished by its smaller leaflets, its shorter 
2-flowered peduncles, its stalked ovary and its more 
sparing pubescence. From K. rubicunda, above mentioned, 
it differs in having constantly 2-flowered peduncles and a 
glabrous pistil; the same characters separate it from A, 
nigricans, Lindl., a species figured at t. 3652 of this work. 
Desoription.—Herb, climbing, perennial; branches 
slender, reddish, almost glabrous. Leaves pinnately 3- 
foliolate ; stipules lanceolate, acute, 3 lin. long, rather 
rigid, becoming deflexed; petioles up to 2 in. long, chan- 
nelled above; leaflets shortly stalked, tips rounded or 
almost truncate, bases obtuse or almost truncate, up to 3 in. 
long, 2 in. wide, firm, glabrous on both. sides; terminal 
leaflet obovate or obovate-elliptic, about 10 lin. remote from 
the elliptic, slightly unequal lateral ones; lateral nerves 
5-6 on each side, curved along the margin and like the 
secondary veins prominent above and distinct beneath ; 
stipels of lateral leaflets 24 lin. long, those of terminal 
leaflet shorter. Peduncles axillary, 2-flowered, 5 lin. long, 
with a rather flattened rigid involucre about 4 in. wide 
composed of 2 connate acute ciliate bracts; pedicels 
sparingly hairy, shorter than the peduncles. Calyx 2- 
lipped, as long as the pedicel, green with reddish markings 
at the base between the lobes, sparingly pubescent outside, 
silky hairy within; upper lip ovate, shortly 2-toothed, 
lower as long, with 3 rather pointed wide lanceolate lobes. 
Corolla much exserted, about 14 in. long, petals of about 
the same length, red except for a greenish-yellow, dark- 
margined patch at base of standard; standard reflexed, 
ovate, obtuse, over 1 in. wide, slightly auriculate and 
2-callose at the base, its claw 1} lin. long; wings oblong, 
obtuse, appendiculate, about 23 lin. wide, slightly adherent 
to keel in the middle, their claw 24 lin. long ; keel oblong- 
faleate, rather acute, appendiculate, 34 lin. wide, clawed 
like the wings. Vewillary stamen quite free. Pistil nearly 
2 in, long, glabrous; ovary 2 in. long, stipe 34 lin. long ; 
style filiform; stigma small capitate.
