For details on this, see in p. 173. There, and in the British Flower'Garden, it is stated to have 

 , been raised by Messrs. Allen and Rogers ; but, in the British Flower-Garden for May, t. 240., 



this statement is declared erroneous, and corrected to Mr. Knight, Exotic Nursery, Chelsea ; 



who, it is stated, raised it from seeds collected in Chile by Mr. Cuming. We have, since March, 



seen the plant at Mr. Knight's ; and have corrected, above, the tabular details respecting it. A. 



viscbsa is trained to a western.aspected wall of a building, is 10 ft. high, and was showing some 



flowers on May 1. 

 Zuplnus leptophyllus Benth. (of which we have, in p. 173., quoted a notice from Hort. Trans.) is 



figured in the Bot. Reg. for May, t. 1C70.

In p. 244., it is stated that " a species of Kennedys, a native of New Hol- 

 land, from Boyd Miller, Esq.," was exhibited at the London Horticultural 

 Society's Show, on April 1. Mr. Miller resides at Lower Tooting, near 

 London. Of this plant, a figure is given in the Horticultural Journal and 

 Florist's Register for May, vol. ii. ; and, in pp. 78. and 80. of the same number, 

 the following additional facts appertaining to it are stated : — " The plant is 

 an elegant though not a showy twiner. It has flowers so closely approxi- 

 mating to black as to be pronounced the darkest known. Towards the 

 bottom of the plant there are single leaves ; but Mr. Wakeling's figure gives 

 a very accurate idea, not only of the blossoms, but also of the character and 

 habit of the plant." According to this figure, the plant, in its habit of 

 growth, resembles Kennedya rubi-cunda, and seems to do so in its (trifoliolate) 

 leaves ; the leaflets are shown shorter, and more broadly ovate. The flowers 

 are disposed from six to ten together, in stalked clusters; and are very unlike 

 those of K. rubicunda, which are usually produced but three in a cluster. 

 Mr. Miller is stated to be the sole possessor of this kind. We think it likely 

 that Dr. Lindley will name, describe, and figure it in the Botanical Register ; 

 so leave the plant here, without a specific name, in that prospect.

"Discovered by M. Broussonet;" but Dr. Hooker does not represent that it has been also 

 described by M. Broussonet. 



" Is well deserving a place in every green-house, from the deep blood 

 colour of its bracteas and floral leaves, which present a strong contrast to the 

 pale glaucous hue of the foliage." The figure has been derived from a plant 

 in the Glasgow Botanic Garden. (Bot. Mag., May.) Messrs. Young and Penny 

 of the Milford Nursery also possess (see p. 236.) this species.

A glabrous shrub with oblong obtuse leaves. Flowers whitecorollaed; and 

 borne in axillary corymbs. C. oblongifolia is in the Kew collection, where 

 " it is treated as a hardy green-house plant, and flowers in the summer and 

 autumn." (Bot. Mag., May.)
