Dr. sMITH confiders this as scarcely even a variety of his PERGULARIA odoratiffima; perhaps, had he seen both in a living state, he might have formed a different conclufion.

We acknowledge the affinity is very great, but are inclined to think them distinct.

It is a smaller plant, the leaves are rounder, much more abruptly acuminated, with a flender recurved point.

Corolla of a tawny yellow colour, segments blunter, concave, margins not reflected, tube hardly longer than the calyx.

The fragrance of the flowers is exquifite, on which account the plant is much cultivated, to twine round bowers in the gardens, in the Eaft-Indies.

Its native country unknown.

Introduced to Kew-Gardens by Sir JOSEPH BANKS, in 1784.

Our drawing was taken in the garden of the Dowager Lady.

DE CLIFFORD, in July 1801.

Dr. sMITH says, that if any plant is to be confidered as gynandrous, this certainly is; but he has nevertheless very properly abstained from feparating it from Periploca, Cyn- anchum, &c
