Spec. Char. Peduncles l-flowered. Leaves pinnate; leaflets cor-

Miull., i. p. 8.) Flowers lilac. June, August. 1812. Height.8 ft. 
Description. The general appearance of this ats is said to give 
the idea of something between C. crispa and C. Viérna; and it is 
said also to bear some resemblance to C. reticulata. ‘ 
Geography, History, &c. It is found in Georgia and Carolina, and 
was first brought to England in 1812, probably by Lyon, who made 
a large importation of plants in that year. It appears to have flowered 
for the first time in England, in Colvill’s Nursery, in 1822, whence it 
— figured by Watson. It is now to be met with in very few col- 
ections.

Spec. Char, Peduncles 1-flowered. Sepals conni- 
vent. Leaves coriaceous, netted with nerves, 
smooth, pinnate; leaflets stalked, 3-lobed or 
entire, ovate. (Don’s Mill.,i. p.8.) Sepals, when 
expanded, divaricate, and are of a pale purplish 
red. June, July. 1812. Height 8 ft. 
Description. In Don’s Mill., the flower of this 
species is stated to resemble that of C. Vidrna ; 
but, by the figure in Watson’s Dendr., it is quite 
dissimilar. In C. Vidérna the sepals do not diva- 
ricate, except in their recurved tips: C. reticulata 
is depicted with sepals expanded in the mode of 
those of C. Viticélla. A side view of a flower less 
expanded resembles more the flower of C. cylin- 
drica, but the cylindrical portion is shorter. The 
flowers (sepals) of the two are different in colour. 
The reticulation of the veins, in the leaves of C. 
reticulita, is the character expressed in the specific 
epithet. The stems of C. reticulata are not truly 
ligneous. In the new edition of the Bot. Mag., Ge 
edited by Dr. Hooker, and published in 1833, C. Simsii and C. reticulata are 
made synonymous.
