§ 2. Foliis 3-Joliolatis, carina vexillo et alis hreviore. D. C. 

 K. dilatata ; foliolis tribus ovatis obtusissimis basi cuneatis apice mucronatis 



subrepandis subtus sericeis, stipulis ovatis acutis, pedunculis filiformibus 



flexuosis flores 6-10-capitatos gerentibus. 

 K. dilatata. Cunningham sec. Hortulanos. 



Cauies debiles ,filiformes, flexuosi, fusco-pilosi, pilis appressissimis. Folia 

 macjis minusve repanda (mag is Jig. 2, minus Jig. 1). Calyces nigro-villosi. 

 Flores vexillo coccineo basi luteo, alis purpureis. 



A beautiful little prostrate or climbing plant, related, 

 on the one hand, to K. prostrata, on the other to K. ino- 

 phylla, with which latter it agrees in the black hairs that 

 clothe its calyxes. 



There are two varieties; one of which, represented at 

 fig. 1, has smaller and less repand leaves than the other at 

 %. 2. 



It requires precisely the same treatment as K. prostrata 

 and coccinea. 



A native of the south-west coast of New Holland, where 

 its seeds were gathered by Baxter. Our drawing was 

 made in Mr. Knight's Nursery in April last. 



The name by which it is known in the Gardens is, we 

 presume, that by which it has been called by Mr. Allan 

 Cunningham, the distinguished traveller in New South 

 Wales, to whom Botanists are looking with much impatience 

 for that detailed account of the Flora of New Holland for 

 which his talents and materials most highly qualify him.
