Seeds of this handsome species, accompanied by dried specimens, were sent to us by Sutton Hayes, Esq., under the native name of Michoican, as a plant cultivated in gardens on account of its beauty. Dr. Seemann also found it at Veraguas, but mistook it for the Ipomcea pterodes of Choisy, from which, however, it is readily distinguished by the colour of its corolla, and by its singularly-winged peduncle bearing from two to four flowers. The same species has been detected in Venezuela by Fendler (n. 2084), but I do not find it anywhere described. It has flowered in the stove of the Royal Gardens, in June, 1862
