small twining ‘pester recently sent te Kew by Dr. P. Rendall, of 
Barberton; after whom it is named. The corolla is ac ge similar to 
that of C. Sandersoni on a small scale. The base of the corolla-tube 
appears to be porple, the upper part white, and the bebe formed 
by the lobes green

This handsome new species of Ipomea is dedicated to Mr. 
Wood, the ag Se Dita of the Botanie Garden, Durban, Natal, m 
whom Kew debted for m many wot en new plants, and among 
them this one, whet it is hoped will shortly be in cultivation at Kew. 
Mr. gives the following account of it :—‘ The root is tuberous, 
** forest, the naked stem lying on the ground and producing a quantity of 
* fine foliage at the outer edge of the bush.” And in another letter he 
— that :—“ The foliage is ee the younger leaves being dull 
** purplish beneath, and ‘the flowers are a good pink.” The position of 
1. Woodii in the genus is evidently nearest to Z. Baclii, Pie. 
. Lindleyi, Choisy), and I. beraviensis, Vatke. It is very similar 
the latter, but has rounder leaves and shorter pedicels.
