The plant here figured and very generally known to the Nurferymen in the neighbourhood of London by the name of Glycine rubicunda is a native of New South-Wales and was introduced to this country about the same time as the Glycine bimaculata already figured It is a shrubby twining plant running up to the height of five six or more feet producing blossoms abundantly from April to June which are usually succeeded by seed-vessels which ripen their seeds with us The flowers though large and showy have a kind of dingy or lurid appearance which greatly diminishes their beauty We have observed the blossoms of some plants more brilliant than those of others and we think it highly probable that at some future period seminal varieties may be obtained with flowers highly improved in colour This species is readily raised from seeds is of quick growth and may be regarded as one of our more hardy green-houfe plants probably it may succeed in the open air if planted in a warm situation and sheltered in inclement seasons
