For the {fpecimen of this very rare climbing fhrub, from 
which our drawing was made, we are indebted to our friend 
Joun Wa ker, Efg. of Arno’s-Grove, Southgate. As it 
unfortunately produced only male flowers, our charaéter of the 
female was neceflarily borrowed from Micaaux: that of the 
male we have made to correfpond with our ideas of its {tru@ture 
from aétual though too limited obfervation. 
The fhield-like body, in the centre of the flower, which 
appears to have fix perforations, or five according to Mr- 
“CHAUX, is confidered by him to be formed by the coalefced 
feffile anthers ; we regard it as rather compofed of filaments
