An omamental evergreen twining fhrub. Native of the 
Weft-Indies, and confequently with us an inhabitant of the 
ftove, where it will extend to a great length, producing abun- 
dance of fine fcarlet bloffoms, inclining to orange ; which are 
fingular in having their borders always rolled inwards, being, as 
far as we have obferved, at no time expanded.

thefe fpecies have aggregate flowers, it cannot properly be in- 
es f cluded
