three above-named species are now established by the adop- 
tion of our characters in the Hortus Kewensis ; and, perhaps,. 
these three are the only known genuine species of the genus ; 
capensis (No. 716) and zeylanica being totally different in 
habit, and ochotensis of Pauias unknown, but from one dried 
eee 
Pauuas, with preceding authors, considered the external 
series of petal-like filaments as imternal petals ; but has parti- 
cularly described and figured four larger than the rest, 
spathula-shaped and'‘emarginate: these are our nectaria, or - 
iternal petals ; the rest are all dilated filaments, and have 
more or less of the rudiments of anthers,at their tips. 
A hardy climbing shrub. Native of Siberia, where it.grows 
im. the mountainous ' districts nearly as far as the Eastern-— 
Ocean, covering the shrubs, or underwood, in the same: 
manner as our Traveller’s-Joy, flowering profusely in June, 
-and, in the autumn, delighting the eye with its clusters of 
white feathery seeds. = ee 
Our drawing’ was taken from a plant communicated by 
N. Hopson, Esq. of the War-Office, in March last.
