ovate, leaves on them, placed opposite at every joint. The flowers 

 are produced in large branching panicles towards the end of the 

 branches; they are of a dirty white colour, with a few purple spots* 

 and faint stripes of yellow on their inside: the lube of the corolla is 

 much shorter, and the upper part more spreading than in the fourth 

 sort: the segments also are deeper cut, and waved on their edges. 

 The flowers are succeeded by longer taper pods in its native situa- 

 tion; but these have not as yet been produced in this climate. It is 

 a native of South Carolina, and flowers in August. 



The second species rises with slender stalks, which twist them- 

 selves round the neighbouring plants, and mount to a considerable 

 height: the leaves come out single and opposite to each other at 

 every joint: they remain green through the year. The flowers come 

 out from the wings of the leaves at every joint, sometimes but two, at 

 other times four at each joint; these stand erect, are trumpet-shaped, 

 yellow, and have a very sweet scent; and, in the countries where 

 they grow naturally, are succeeded by short taper pods filled with 

 small winged seeds. It is a native of South Carolina. 



The third rises with slender stems which require support. The 

 leaves are small, ovate, entire, and placed opposite at every joint; at 

 the same places come out the tendrils, by which the plants fasten 

 themselves to whatever grows near them : the flowers are axillary, 

 and . pe ';e those of the Foxglove- They are not succeeded by 

 pods in this climate. It is a native of the West-Indies. 



The fourth species has rough stems, which send out many trailing 

 branches, putting out roots at their joints, and thereby fastening 

 themselves to the trees in their natural places of growth, and climb- 

 ing to a great height: when it is planted against walls, it strikes into 

 the mortar of the joints so strongly as to support the branches, and 

 will rise to the height of forty or fifty feet. The leaves are opposite 

 at every joint, composed of four pairs of leaflets, terminated by an 

 odd one; they are serrate, and end in a long sharp point. The flow- 

 ers are produced at the ends of the shoots of the same year, in large 

 bunches ; they have long swelling tubes, shaped somewhat like ia
