This is the species described, without a specific name, in 

 p. 285. 348. It was raised by Boyd Miller, Esq., of Collier's 

 Wood, near Mitch am, Surrey, from seeds gathered in New 

 Holland by Dr. Nisbet,

Figured and described from living specimens in Madeira ; 

 but it is conjectured that the species is cultivated there, and has 

 been derived from some other country. It is stated to be a 

 most elegant climbing shrub, with long, weak, diffuse, inter- 

 weaving branches; and most delicate and lovely foliage, the 

 leaves resembling gracefully curved or drooping plumes of fea- 

 thers, of a yellow-green colour, 6 in. to 8 in. long, and 2 in. to 

 4 in. broad : each leaf consists of very numerous minute leaf- 

 lets, most symmetrically disposed. The flowers are not remark- 

 ably conspicuous. The pod and seed are large in proportion to 

 other parts of the plant. (Bot. Mag., Nov.)

Nearly related to B. longiflora : it has a more oval obtuse 

 leaf, and a smaller and shorter flower. The flowers change in 

 colour, according to their age, from greenish yellow to dark 

 purple. Dr. Lindley has suggested that this species of Billar- 

 dier#, with all the others, and the Sollya (he has presented 

 reasons in maintenance of the generic distinctness of this plant) 

 heterophylla, are " quite hardy enough to live in this country, 

 trained to a west wall, if protected from wet in winter : at all 

 events, a cold pit would be ample protection for them." Mr. 

 Lowe, Nursery, Clapton, has introduced B. ovalis. (Bot. Reg., 

 Nov.) In the same place, the characteristics of an allied New 

 Holland plant, of great beauty, are given from Mr. Allan Cun- 

 ningham, who discovered it in 1822. It is named 



CHEIRANTHE'RA Can. MSS. linearis Cun. MSS. (Cheir, the hand, anthera, an anther; 



the anthers bend away from the ovary, forming themselves into a line slightly curved, like the 

 fingers of an open hand; resembling what occurs in the pleurandras of the same country.) It is 

 an upright shrub, with linear entire clustered leaves, and blue erect blossoms disposed in corymbs.
