hedges, where it was climbing on other trees, and hanging down in 

 graceful festoons from tlie ends of their brandies. The flowers are 

 brown, produced in short racemes, and sweet scented. A flower, wlien 

 fully expanded, is much like a Boroniaanemonifolia, but has only three 

 petals. The plant appears to be liardy, and likely to be a desirable 

 one for training over a trellis in the open air, and thus diffuse its 

 fragrance around. It stands in the open ground at the London Horti- 

 cultural Garden." Figured in Bot. Reg., 28.

 a very beautiful object when in profuse bloom. The blossoms are 

 highly fragrant too. It well merits a place in the greenhouse.
