of growth. In order that it may not he forgotten we propose 

 for it the following name and character, viz. 



B. Carolina' ; glabra, gracilis, foliis conjugatis, foliolis cordatis acuininatis 

 subpubescentibus, paniculis terminalibus paucifloris, calyce campauulato 

 truncate obsolete 5-clentato pubescente, corolla arcuata tomentosa laciniis 

 crispis patulis. 



Bignonia picta itself is a handsome creeper, and is said 

 to be as hardy as Bignonia capreolata, requiring the same 

 treatment. Like all Bignonias it should have a strong rich 

 loamy soil, for although they grow vigorously in light sandy 

 or peaty soils, they never flower freely under such treatment, 

 and occupy much more room both for their tops and roots to 

 grow in. It is increased from seeds or cuttings of the half- 

 ripened slender shoots, put in sand, and treated in the 

 ordinary way.
