ine clandestina, and thers, belongs toa very distinct fifth genus. 
It will also, it his hoped, be readily admitted that the divisi fe d 
are easily recognisable without entering into the minutiz of botanical 
characters, and are therefore natural; for surely the small blue or 
somewhat pink flowers in slender branches of Kennedya monophylla, 
Comptoniana, &c (which are all Hardenbergias) are very different 
from the large long scarlet or purple flowers of Kennedya Marry- 
attiana, prostrata, nigricans, &c. We confidently trust, therefore, 
_that we shall not, on this occasion, be set down by more able botanists 
as one of the herd of rash innovators, and that even our lovers of hor- 
ticulture will not refuse to adopt a name destined at once to do honour 
to alady, most zealous in the promotion of botany and horticulture at 
Vienna, and to her brother whose tour of six years over a great part 
of the globe, has done much for the advancement of several branches 
of natural science. G. B. 
INTRODUCTION; WHERE Grown; Cutture. The Hardenbergia 
monophylla was first introduced from Botany Bay, about the year 
1790, since which time it has been increased and become a great orna- 
ment to most greenhouses. This very elegant variety of the original 
plant was raised from New Holland seeds, by Messrs. Rollisson of 
Tooting, in 1830. The specimen here figured was obligingly supplied 
from the Birmingham Botanic Garden, where it flowered in March, 
and had grown to the height of four feet. As may be seen by our 
figure of this elegant twiner, it is well adapted for ornamenting small 
columns or a light trellis in the greenhouse. It will grow still more 
luxuriantly if planted in the border of the conservatory. Sandy loam 
with a small proportion of peat makes a suitable soil for it, and in- 
crease may be obtained from cuttings. 
Derivation or THE Names. 
Harvenserera in honour of Frances Countess Hardenberg, sister of Baron 
Charles von Hiigel of Vienna. Monopnyiia one-leayed, each petiole hav- 
ing in this species but one leaflet, whilst in several others there are three.
