the garb of shrubs in their advance to warmer regions, 
where in the hottest we find them sometimes coaverted into 
vast trees, as in the papilionaceous division of Jussieu’s 
order of Leguminous plants. - 
In the specimens we have seen, our plant forms a slender 
twining shrub, of the height of three or four feet. The 
foliage is of a deep green, elongatedly cordate tapered to @ 
point, measuring three inches at the longest, very slightly 
pubescent on both sides, on the upper appressedly so; 
petioles scarcely one third of its length. Inflorescence on 
three-flowered peduncles, sometimes subdivided and with 
more flowers, shorter than the leaf. Calyx three times 
shorter than the flower, spreading above the middle, where 
the leaflets are broad and ciliate. Corolla white, with a 
yellow disk and five purple lines answering to the same 
number of broader villous ones on the outside, flatly ex- 
panded down to the short tube within the calyx, less than 
two inches across, obsoletely five-cornered; while rolled 
together, the whole exterior is covered with a hirsute 
pubescence. Stamens bearded downwards. Style filiform, 
with a double groove, as if composed of two grown to- 
gether, shortly forked at the top, each point holding 
white filiform stigma. Germen smooth. 
_ A hardy greenhouse plant, of the easiest culture. Mul- 
tiplied by cuttings. Flowers in June and July. The draw- 
ing was made at the nursery of Messrs. Whitley, Brames 
and Milne, King’s Road, Fulham. ;
