C. Wightiana. W. &. A. 3. scandent, perennial,with very soft villous leaves, coarsely serrated. It is also called Moriel, and grows common at Mahableshwur, and the adjoining Ghauts, flowering after the rains: Wallich's С grata Asiat. PI. t. 98. much resembles it, and is perhaps identical.
Hedges and thickets where these plants grow have the appearance of being covered with hoar frost, from the white feathery tails of the seeds. They are very ornamental and worthy of aplace in Gardens.

Clematis brachiata. Brachiate Cape-Virgin's s Bower....
An unrecorded species, and the only one of the genus from the Cape of Good Hope (where it was found growing naturally by Mr. Niven) as yet known to have blossomed in our gardens. It has been lately raised from imported seed by Mr. Middlemist, nurseryman at Shepherd's Bush. The specific name is borrowed from the Banksian Herbarium, in which we found a sample of the spontaneous plant, collected by the late Mr. Masson.
A slender evergreen branching sarmentose shrub, climbing, when it finds the means, to a considerable height, which it reaches by the help of the upper leaves, that serve as claspers, and twine themselves round whatever suits for support. Foliage of a dark shining green, brachiate, quinately winged, next the panicle often ternate, lowermost hi temate; leaflets ovately lanceolate, loosely and irregularly serrate at their upper half, three outer ones sometimes confluent: petioles slender, wiry, elastic. Peduncles axillary, opposite, upright, villous, 3-5-flowered, brachiate and shorter than the leaves ; each pedicle set in the axil of a simple ovate leaflet, one-flowered, thick, with a bibracteolated joint below the middle. Flowers coriaceous, sweetecented, of an opaque greenish buff colour, at first cernuous, afterwards less declined, entirely covered by a short close downy pile: petals 4, recurvedly rotate, acute, deciduous. Pistils held together by a long entangled close silky wool with which they are covered.
A greenhouse plant of easy culture. Propagated by layers with the facility commoa to sarmentose plants. Flowers about November.
A genus comprised in the Ranunculaceœ of Jussieu. An order by which it is the intention of Professor Decandollo to commence his arduous, and till now unattempted, enterprise, " The System of Vegetables arranged according to natural affinity." An attempt of which the proved talent of the author justifies the best expectation. He is now here to avail himself of the treasures in the library and herbarium of Sir Joseph Banks, made free to science with a munificence that has no example; and resorted to from every point of the globe with a confidence that has never been indulged in vain.
The drawing was made from a plant that flowered at the greenhouse of Messrs. Whitley, Brames, and Milne, Parson's Green, near Fulham; and we hear that at Messrs. Lee and Kennedy's nursery, Hammersmith, there is another un* recorded species of the genus from the Cape of Good Hope, which has not yet flowered here, but is expected to do so this summer.
