This is one of the most beautiful species of this exten- — 
sive genus; was introduced by the late Right Hon. Sir 
Josepn Banks, from the East Indies, in 1778, but has but 
rarely flowered in our hot-houses, probably from having 
been generally confined to too limited a space. Our 
specimens were communicated by Lapy Harzanp, of Oswell — 
Park, Ipswich; .in whose stove it flowered in August, 
September, and October, 1822. Her ladyship observes, 
that “it isan evergreen, and being planted in the corner 
of a pit of mould, in the stove, its branches extend over a 
trellis about twenty-three feet, and, if allowed, would 
fill the house, being constantly growing all the year round, 
so that the gardener is obliged to be continually cutting it 
in. The stem, just above the ; ) Bt 
inches in circumference. It would ‘never flower in ‘a pot, 
as it requires space for its roots, as well asa great deal 
of head-room.”’ .. ;, ey si 
The figure in Smiru’s icones picte represents the limb 
of the corolla with pointed lobes, and the stigma bifid and 
subulate, probably from the lobes of the stigma having 
fallen off. The outline figure in our drawing gives a true 
representation of the stigma in our specimens. __. 
_ We have formerly mentioned the inadequacy of the 
character drawn from the stigma ‘to distinguish Convou- 
vutus from Ipomma; we are inclined to put more, con- 
fidence in the funnel-shaped corolla of the latter, as 
contrasted with the campanulate or bell-shaped corolla 
of the former. - = ;
