One of the Wings, or fide petals of the fame.-A. The two lower Petals, or Keel of the bloffom. 5. The Chives, magnified. 6. The Seed-bud, magnified. This fpecies of Flat-Pea was brought from New South Wales, at the fame time as P. fcolopendrum,and P. lanceolatum, to which laft it has much affinity; but, we think, poffeffes a fufficient number ofdiffering characters to conftitute a diftinft fpecies. It has not as yet been increafed, we believe, inBritain; any attempt, to that end, has hitherto proved abortive; from which circumftance the plantsare at prefent fcarce, and are to be found in few collections. The fame treatment to preferve, andrender the plant flourishing, is required for this, as for the other fpecies. Our Drawing was made in1801, at the Nurfery of Meffrs.
