As we had no o portunity of examining the plant itself 
_Wecan give no farther description of it than what is af- 
forded by the drawing, and the above specific character 
kindly communicated by Mr. Linptry. The blood-co- 
loured sap is a remarkable character in this species. e 
Our drawing was taken in August 1823, at the garden of 
the Horticultural society at Chiswick, where it was raised 
from seeds brought from Sierra Leone, by Mr. Gzorce 
Don, in 1822. | 
It is a climber, and being a native of a tropical climate 
_ ‘requires to be. cultivated in the stove.
