flowers. Mr. Low finds it the strongest grower of all the 

 Kennedyas. 



Most nearly related to Kennedya coccinea, which differs 

 in being a more slender plant, with smaller leaves, and 

 heads with much fewer flowers in them (never more than 

 5 or 6), while. in K. inophylla the number varies from 15 

 to 20. 



The deep pitch-black hairs with which the calyxes of 

 this species are clothed, give the inflorescence a remarkable 

 appearance, and form an excellent back-ground for the 

 lively red flowers to repose on.
