subulate. Vewillam roundly and broadly obcordate, 2-eared at 
the base with a slender unguis, orangy scarlet, with two con- 
fluent yellow spots near the base, edged with purple. Ale or 
wings spathulate, purple, the points bent inwards, witha sharp 
hooked ear at the bottom of each, and a very slender unguis. 
Carina blunt, shorter than the wings, with two sharp straight 
ears at the base, dark purple and scarlet mixed. Stamens 10, 
one distinct, and 9 united, but distinct at the points. Ovariwm 
sessile, linear, slender, slightly pubescent. Style smooth, ascend-

This very handsome climbing plant is a native of the South- 
west coast of New Holland, and was introduced to the Royal 
Gardens at Kew in 1803; but we believe it was again lost, as we 
had never seen it in any collection till lately, when it was raised 
from seed in the collection of Robert Barclay, Esq. at Bury- 
hill, and was also raised about the same time in Mr. Mackay’s 
Nursery at Clapton, from seeds sent by Mr. W. Baxter. Our 
drawing was made from a fine strong plant, covered with flowers, 
at the Nursery of Mr. Colvill, in the King’s Road, Chelsea, 
from a plant that was presented to him by Mr. Barclay. It is 
certainly one of the most splendid of our Greenhouse climbers, 
and will therefore be a valuable plant, thriving well in a light 
sandy soil, or an equal mixture of turfy loam, peat, and sand, 
will suit it very well. Young cuttings root readily, taken off at 
a joint, and planted under bell-glasses in a pot of sand plunged 
in a gentle heat. 
The genus was first named by Ventenat, in compliment to 
Mr. Kennedy, then in partnership with the late Mr. James 
Lee, at the Hammersmith Nursery.
