ness, and if, as we heard some eminent plant-grow r ers assert the 
other day, it be a variety of L. brachypoda , it w T ill probably 
prove as hardy, in which case it will be a great acquisition, and 
doubtless, when planted in a cool situation, the colouring will 
be much more vivid than it has yet been seen in Europe; it is 
very free in its habit of growth, and easily propagated, so that 
we doubt not that in a short time it will find its way into most 
gardens. Mr. Standish is now sending it out. 
As exhibited by Mr. Standish, it formed a very pretty trellis 
plant, the stems when ripe being of a deep red colour; the 
leaves are of two kinds, some being deeply cut, somewhat 
similar to an oak, while others are simple (this we believe is 
also characteristic of L. bracJiypoda). In the figure they are 
drawn of the natural size, viz. about two and a half inches long 
by two inches in breadth, and are of a bright lively green, veined 
in every direction with golden yellow, and in its natural growth 
the midrib is of a bright carmine ; so that it will be readily 
seen how very ornamental it will be when well grown in a 
sheltered position, in the open air.
