CREEPING BAUHINIA. 



There is a scandent species of bauhinia that creeps up 

 to the tops of the highest trees which has very large 

 leaves, and whose flowers have the fragrance of migno- 

 nette. It approaches Vahl's bauhinia in size and habit, 

 but its petals are red and yellow, while in that they are 

 said to be white. It is probably one of the species named 

 by W allien of which I have no description.
