a half to two inches long, bearing three leaflets, two opposite to each 
other, with one stipella at the base of each, the third terminal at some 
distance from the lateral ones, with two stipellz at its base. LEAFLETS 
obovate, or oblong, blunt or slightly emarginate, sometimes with a 
“small point, undulate on the edges, smooth on the upper surface, hairy 
underneath, an inch to an inch and a half long. Pzpunctes axillary, 
shorter than the leaves, bearing two or four flowers, with one or two 
pair of bracteze connected into one orbicular one, and two small brac- 
teola at the base of each pedicel. FLowers large, of a rich scarlet, 
the standard having a double orange spot in the centre. Kerex rather 
longer than the wings, and almost straight. Lecume about an inch 
and a half long, compressed, or wan cylindrical, but not inflated, 
Poputar AND GeocrapuHicaL Notice. This is a true Kennedya, 
as this genus is proposed in the above quoted memoir, to be limited. 
The small blue-flowered species are there included under the name 
of Hardenbergia; those with bunches of scarlet flowers and short 
keels under that of Zichya; and others again with inflated pods as 
Physalobium. The remaining Kennedyas consist of five or six spe- 
cies, which appear to be coast plants, most of them being found trail-. 
ing on sandy ground. They are most of them showy, but less so than 
the Hardenbergie and Zichyz, for the peduncles bear but few flowers, 
and unless treated and trained with care many of them remain con- 
cealed by a rather coarse foliage. We have, however, seen specimens 
of the present species in great beauty. G. B. 
InrRopUcTION; WHERE GRowN; CuLTurE. The Kennedya Mar- 
ryattiana was first raised in the year 1836, by Mr. Robert Mangles, and 
in the gardens of Mrs. Marryatt, from seeds sent home by Sir James 
Sterling, and has since spread into most considerable collections. It 
is easily propagated by cuttings, and also ripens its seed occasionally, 
from which source some very slight varieties have been obtained. 
It should be potted in peat, loam, and sand, and have greenhouse 
protection. Our drawing was made from specimens in the garden of 
Robert Barclay, Esq. of Leyton, Essex.
