 KENNEDYA.— Supra, vol. 11. fol. 944. 



K. glabrata ; foliolls 3 cuneatis mucronatis glabris petiolis caulibusque pilosis, 

 stipulis late ovatis acutis, bracteis deciduis, pedunculis foliorum longitudine 

 subsexfloris. 



A specimen of this very pretty greenhouse climber was 

 -communicated to me by Mr. Knight of the King's Road, in 

 May, 1835. It is a New Holland plant, probably from the 

 South coast, and very distinct from all that have hitherto 

 been figured. 



The slender wiry hairy stems, broad ovate sharp-pointed 

 stipules, and smooth leaves, with wedge-shaped leaflets, 

 which are shining and almost entirely destitute of hairiness, 

 sufficiently mark the species. 



A hardy greenhouse shrub, propagated by cuttings. 



None of the Kennedyas which I have yet seen have so 

 clear and bright a scarlet as this; and the efl'ect of the colour, 

 brilliant as it is, is much set off by the green spot bordered 

 with deep brown, at the base of the standard.
