A beautiful greenhouse twining shrub, introduced by Sir 

 James Stirling from Swan River in New Holland. It was 

 raised in the garden of Robert Mangles, Esq. at Sunning Hill, 

 from whence specimens were received in the course of last 

 summer. 



It is in many respects so much like K. Comptoniana as to 

 render it doubtful whether it is more than a variety of that 

 species. It appeared, however, to differ in being altogether 

 a more vigorous plant; its leaf-stalks were as long as the 

 leaflets and not shorter ; the reticulations of its leaves were 

 more coarse ; and I did not remark any tendency to produce 

 those linear leaflets which always accompany the original 

 K. Comptoniana. 



This will be usually trained to the rafter or column of a 

 greenhouse ; but a pretty mode of managing such plants is 

 that, practised in the garden of Mrs. Lawrence, of twining the
