This truly elegant species of a genus not usually re- 
markable for the beauty of its flowers or foliage, is said to 
be a native of the West Indies, whence it was imported by 
the late Lord Seaforth. 
Trained to the rafter of a conservatory, for which pur- 
pose its rapid growth and climbing habit render it particu- 
larly well adapted, it is one of the most strikingly orna- 
mental plants with which we are acquainted. Yet it is 
seldom met with in collections. 
Our drawing was made from a plant in the possession 
of Henry Bellenden Ker, Esq., in June 1825.

Norr.—We beg to correct an error into which we in- 
advertently fell in our last Number, fol. 958, in attributing 
the theory of the nature of the dissepiments of multilocular 
pericarpia to the late M. Richard, instead of to Mr. 
Brown. We were misled by an imperfect recollection of 
some passages in the Analyse du Fruit of the former bota- 
nist, which, upon subsequent examination, we find are 
not susceptible of the interpretation we assigned to them.
