The seeds of this Coronilla were sent to me by the indefatigable Botanist above mentioned in 
the year 1798, soon after he had collected them. That it might not be lost among us, I com- 
_ municated them to Messrs. Lee and Kennedy, by whose labours so many new plants are not 
_ only introduced but increased in this ‘country. _ I am surprised to find it omitted in D 
taine’s rich and valuable Flora Aflantica. No plant is more easy to cultivate in a greent 
. 
for cuttings easily strike root, and its seeds ripen every year. The stems nearly quite round. 
, 9 Phe Leaves vary considerably in size; and the Flowers, like most of this genus, gradually oe 
change their colour from a pale to a deeper purple. ;
