 smooth inside. Anthers erect, linear, smooth. Style filiform. 

 Stigma fleshy, conical, white, with a furrow on each side and 

 a ring round the middle. 



I have thought it necessary to be thus particular in my 

 notice of this plant, for the purpose of correcting the error as 

 to the colour of the flower, which was before given on the 

 authority of the collector, and because it belongs to a genus 

 which has been seen by few botanists in any state, and, I 

 believe, by one only besides myself, in a fresh state. Grows 

 freely in sandy loam and peat, in a strong heat.

For this the Society is indebted to Mr. George Caley, 

 who sent it from the Botanic Garden of St. Vincent's in 1823. 

 It grows in the stove to a considerable height, and in its native 

 country forms a small tree, not a climber, as are most of the 

 species commonly cultivated in this country. It is one of the 

 few Bignonias, the leaves of which are simple. The flowers 

 are about two inches long, of a delicate lilac colour with a 

 yellowish tube ; they appear in July and August in pairs from 

 the axillae of the branches, are of a very delicate texture, and 

 quickly perish. 



Propagated by cuttings planted in pure silver sand, and 

 covered with a bell-glass ; it should be afterwards grown in a 

 light sandy loam. A coloured figure and full description may 

 be found in the Botanical Register, fol. 965.
