KENNEDIA MONOPHYLLA. 
Class. Order, 
DIADELPHIA DECANDRIA. 
This genus was separated from Glycine, 
and named by M. Ventenat after Mr. 
Kennedy, of Hammersmith—a gentleman 
well deserving of the honour. The pre- 
sent species is an elegant climbing shrub, 
with rich violet coloured blossoms, Which 
are highly ornamental during the sprin 
months, especially if planted in a conserva- 
tory, in which situation it will grow to 
twelve or fifteen feet in height, and the pro- 
fusion of its flowers is immense during the 
spring months. 
It is a native of New Holland, and was 
among the very first introductions from that 
country. It may be increased by cuttings, 
and should be potted in a mixture of loam 
and peat earth.
