Except in the Nursery of Messrs. Barr and Brooke, by 
whom it was kindly communicated to us, we have not observed 
this plant in any collections about town, nor have we found 
that it has been any where described. The flower resembles 
that of Krnnepra monophylla of Hortus Kewensis, the Guy- 
cing bimaculata of this work (No. 263) ; and like that it has 
simple leaves, but of quite a different form, being broad-ovate, 
somewhat acuminate, and terminated with a small mucro. 
The veins run parallel from the midrib towards the margin 
with anastomosing branches. ‘The stem did not appear to 
climb in our plant, which was young and not very vigorous ; 
but in a more advanced state it probably may. We are 
informed that it was raised from seeds imported from New 
Holland.
