SCARLET WOODBINE, 
OF NEW SOUTH WALES, 
There can, we presume, be little obje6tion 
made, on any just ground, to the name of the 
Scarlet V/ oodbine, which we have given to 
this beautiful parasitical plant, the produdlion 
of New South Wales, 
Our figure, which is a faithful represen- 
tation of nature, bears too strong a family like- 
ness to be mistaken by the most cursory ob- 
server; though the flowers, which are full 
double the size figured, may be more bulky 
than the generality of our European Wood- 
bines, and certainly appear to grow less pro- 
fusely in clusters.. But, neither these circum^ 
stances, I'^r the great difference of colour, 
can be considered as forming any essential 
^enerical distindtion,. 
It grows plentifully in a light, sandV, or 
gravelly soil ; rises several feet in height ; and, 
winding among the shrubs,, bushes^ 6<c. some- 
' times^
