This plant is common about Katumandrf and has been sent from 

 thence to this Garden in 1818, by the Hon. E. Gardner, where it 

 is a very slender, extensive climber, which, however, according 

 to my observation is annual, blossoming and ripening its seeds 

 in the hot season. I have also plants raised from seeds which were 

 kindly communicated by Mr. Charles Fiaser, Government Garden- 

 er at Sydney, from the interior of New Holland ; they have not as yet 

 blossomed, but they appear to be precisely the same species. Stem 

 very slender, branched, rough with numerous small tubercles, espe- 

 cially its lower part.— Leaves rather remote, smooth, somewhat fle- 

 shy, opaque, very pale underneath, of an ovate. cordate outline, mea- 

 suring from two to four inches in breadih, flat, ternate, each leaflet 

 again three- partite, the intermediate larger, the lateral ones having 

 their outer divisions or lobes shorter than the rest and connate at the 

 base, giving the leaf a pedate appearance. The lobes are entire, or 

 slightly repand, lanceolate, attenuate-acuminate, tapering downwards, 

 and decurrent on the short partial petiols. — Fetio/s deeply furrowed, 

 scabrous, equalling their leaves in length. — Stipules consist of no- 

 thing else but the young, very small, sessile leaves, which have pre- 

 cisely the shape of the full grown ones, (as is the case in C. copti- 

 cus.)— -Peduncles axillary, solitary, erect, jointed and bi-bracteate 

 at the middle, club-shaped, fleshy, scabrous, one-, rarely three-flow- 

 ered. — Flowers very beautiful, of a yellow colour, purple within, 

 of the size and shape of the following species. Calyx of five 

 oblong, thick and fleshy, acute, shining, pretty smooth leaves, about 

 half the length of the tube. — Corolla infundibuliform, with a cyliu- 

 dric tube much contracted at its base; limb flat, obscurely and 

 acutely iive-lobed, minutely crenulate— Stamens smooth, reaching
