Native of New Holland. Introduced, according to 
Sweet’s Catalogue (Hortus Suburbanus Londinensis), in 
1803; but had disappeared in our collections, until lately 
imported by Messrs. Colvill, of the King’s Road, Chelsea, 
when it flowered in the hothouse during the spring. Itisa 
perennial climber, with a very showy violet-purple flower. 
The inside of the calyx is of a dark olive-green and 
pitted with small white variously confluent spots; and on 
the outside there are 5? oblong longitudinal slightly per- 
manent parallel dark green secretory glands.
