K. Marryatta ; foliolis tribus oblongis obtusis undulatis petiolo brevioribus, 

 junioribus canlibusqiie villosissimis, stipulis bracteisque cordatis apiculatis, 

 pedunculis 4-flori.s. 



A beautiful greenhouse climber, obtained from Swan 

 River seeds sent home by Sir James Stirling. Our first 

 specimens were communicated by Mrs. Marryat, we after- 

 wards received others from the garden of Mr. Robert 

 Mangles. It flowers abundantly from April to July, pro- 

 ducing a striking appearance with its numerous scarlet 

 blossoms. 



As it is easily propagated by cuttings it will soon become 

 a common plant. 



Different as this is from K. prostrata it is not easy to fix 

 upon any very decisive mark of distinction. It is much 

 larger in all its parts, and very much more hairy ; in fact 

 its young leaves and stems are perfectly shaggy. The 

 leaflets are larger, far more wavy, and shorter than their 

 stalk. The flowers grow about four in a cluster, instead of 

 two, or being altogether solitary. The fruit we have not 

 seen.
