cated below, undulate, entire, acute, deep green and prui- 
nose above, paler beneath, and there especially clothed with 
minute pubescence. Petiole about one-third of the length 
of the leaf, of the same colour with the shoots, channelled 
above, spreading. Peduncles lateral, more rarely axillary, 
subdichotomously cymose, four- to eight-flowered, about as 
long as the petiole, and similar to it ; pedicels (about seven 
lines long) spreading, straight. Calyx five-parted, green, 
very minutely tomentose, obscurely veined ; segments ovate, 
acute, spreading below, erect in their upper half, reflected 
at the sides. Corolla faintly perfumed, somewhat fleshy, 
white, when in bud pale rose-coloured, hypocrateriform, 
glabrous : tube (half an inch long) one and a half times as 
long as the calyx, at its base ventricose, with five gibbo- 
sities and slightly hairy on the inside, above pentagonous, 
sides depressed, and having a ridge in the centre of the 
depression ; limb (an inch and a quarter across) spread- 
ing, five-parted, segments ovate, acute, reflected at the 
apices and at the sides. Crown attached to the inside of 
the base of the tube, five-parted, lobes connivent, blunt, 
convex on the outside, alternate with the gibbosities of the 
tube, glabrous. Stamens opposite to the lobes of the crown, 
and twice as long as these, adpressed to the pistil ; fila- 
ments coarse and fleshy, monadelphous, concave on the 
inside, flat on the out, sagittate above, terminated by a 
little ovate, subacute point, below the sides of which, and 
on the inside of the filament, are the cells of the anther; 
pollen-masses yellow, elliptico-ovate, flattened, reticulated. 
Stigma large, conical, angular, terminated above by two 
appendages longer than itself, which diverge below, meet 
above near the apices, and again diverge ; glands alternate 
with the stamens, indented into the angles of the stigma, 
deep lilac, cartilaginous, slit vertically along their outer 
surface, terminated above by a cordate, brown process, 
emarginate at the apex, and below by two processes, which 
are brown, linear, flat, swollen at both their extremities, 
each becoming attached obliquely to the narrower extre- 
mity of a pollen-mass in the stamen next to it. Styles two, 
short, connivent above. Germens two, turgid, ovate, acute. 
es very numerous, small, imbricated, filamentous, at- 
tached to the receptacle placed on the inside of the germen. 
Seeds of this fine plant were received by Mr. Nes1 from 
Mr. Tweepiz, Buenos Ayres, in 1830, and climbing along 
the roof of the stove in his garden, flowered freely in August 
last. I possess from Mr. T'weepre an excellent specimen, 
m no respect different from the cultivated plant. Graham.
