This new species of Bignonia flowered for the first time in England in the stove of A. B. Lam- 

 bert, esq. at Boyton. We have seen it (but not in flower) in other collections, and have heard it 

 called by the specific title of ophthalmica : but as no reason could be assigned for that appellation 

 Wrt m the reach of our inquiry, we have named it from its hooked tendrils. It is an autumnal-flower- 

 ing to a great length, with frequent blossoms, is a native of Cayenne, and was intro- 



duced by Lord Seaforth.
