It is a ])lant that requires protection in winter, but 

 would become a lively ornament of rock-work in the summer. 

 No doubt it is easily raised from cuttings, like plants of a 

 similar slightly shrubby habit. 



We did not remark any trifoliate leaves upon the plant 

 sent by Mr. Young, and suspect that the character so 

 usual in the simple-leaved Ononises of having their lower 

 leaves trifoliate, is departed from in this species.
