Clit6ria, Linn. From clitoris, an anatomical 

 term ; a resemblance to the configuration of 

 which has been fancied to exist in the flower. 

 Linn. 17, Or. 4, Nat. Or. Fabacece. The 

 species of this genus are mostly climbers, with 

 large elegant pea-flowers : they succeed best in 

 a mixture of loam, peat, and sand ; cuttings 

 will root under a glass, in heat, but the best 

 method of increasing them is by seed, which 

 sometimes ripens in this country. The an- 

 nual species requires the same treatment as 

 other tender annuals. See Barbiiria, Cola- 

 gania, and Vilmorinia.
