K. Baimanni ai^d K. splendens, Meissn. in PI. Preiss. i. 89, described from garden plants 

 supposed erroneously to have been of Australian origin, are S. American species of Campfo- 



urn a, 



Steudel's ' Nomendator ' contains several other names of Kennedyas, extracted from 

 garden catalogues, which, being unaccompanied by descriptions, it is impossible to identity. 



1. K. nigricans, Lindl. Bot, Reg, t. 1715. A large twining species, 

 usually pubescent, but less so than K, riibicunda, which it nearly resembles. 

 Leaflets broadly ovate or rhomboidal, obtuse or emarginate, 2 to 3 in. long, 

 and very often only one to each leaf. Stipules small, striate, reflcxccl. 

 Flowers above 1 in. long, in racemes shorter than the leaves, but narrower 

 and less pendulous than in K.nibicunda, all turned to one side, and of a deep 

 violet-purple almost black colour, with a large greenish-yellow blotch on the 

 standard. Standard narrow-obovate, reflexed ; wings narrow, about as long 

 as the keel, with the tips spreading ; keel rather acute. Pod as in K. rubi- 

 cunda, flattened, glabrous or slightly pubescent. Seeds ahnost transverse, 

 laterally attached to a funicule protruding far into the cavity.— Bot. Mag. 

 t. 3652 ; Meissn. in PL Preiss. i. 89.

2. K, rubicunda. Vent. Jard. Malm, ^.104. A large twining species, 

 pubescent or villous. Leaflets 3, usually ovate and 3 to 4- in. long, but vary- 

 JJig from broadly rhomboid obovate or almost orbicular, to ovate-lanceolate or 

 lauceolate and acute, the snudler ones often under 2 in. and when very luxuriant 

 attauiing 5 or 6 in., rarely nearly glabrous, sometimes softly silky on both 

 smes. _ Stipules small, striate, reflexed. Flowers of a dull or dark red, \\ 

 to 1|- in. long, in pedunculate racemes rarely exceeding the leaves. Pedicels 

 jisually in pairs, rather longer than the calyx. Bracts small, very deciduous, 

 ^alvx silky-villous, 5 to 6 lines long. Standard narrow-obovate, abniptly 

 reflexed from about the middle; wings narrow, erect, adhering to the keel 

 Jljove the middle ; keel narrow, as long as the wings, rather acute. Pod 

 Jiiit or the valves slightly convex, 2 to 4 in. long, usually villous. Seeds ob- 

 long, almost transverse,' laterally attached to a funicle protruding far into the 



rod. ii. 383; Lodd. 13ot. Cab. t. 954; Glycine rubicuuda.
