petiole. The male flowers alone are known, which are very 

 deciduous, the pedicel being jointed in the middle. I have 

 named after my Mend Dr. Moore, F.L.S., whose eminence as 

 a scientific horticulturist is as well known as his garden is ap- 

 preciated for botanical interest and beauty. 



Desce. A slender, quite glabrous climber. Leaves alter- 

 nate, membranous, three to five inches long, shining, broadly 

 ovate, long acuminate, rounded at the base, where are two 

 marginal glands, soft, 3 -nerved from the base, much reticu- 

 lated ; petiole one inch long. Tendrils very slender, forked. 

 Racemes copious, four to five inches long, many flowered ; bracte- 

 oles minute. Flowers (males only known) one inch in diameter, 

 pale brick red ; pedicel slender, jointed in the middle. Calyx 

 divisions oblong, obtuse, green. Corolla-lobes orbicular, or 

 broader towards the rounded apex, margins undulate. Sta- 

 minodes short, linear oblong, obtuse, opposite the stamens, 

 adnate to the corolla and connate at the base into a bright 

 golden yellow disk, on which the stamens are placed. 

 Stamens with stout recurved filaments, a very thick connec- 

 tive, and small adnate 1 -celled, 2-valved anthers. — J. D. II.
