This, according to Torrey
and Gray, ajipears to be the original

Other Species o f Sfitis. — The
American species have been considerably
reduced in number by
Messrs. Torrey and Gray ; hut it
appears to us, th a t th e reduction
might have been carried still farther.
So'iiie species are described as natives
o f the Himalayas, and 130
varieties are noticed by Rafiiiesqne
in his M o n o g ra p h o f American Vines
(see Gard. M a g ., vol. viii. p. 248.) ;
but they are not yet known in this
country. Indeed, from the appearance
of the above-described siiccies
in the H o rt. Soc. Garden, we are
much inclined to think they are
only varieties of th e same species.
They certainly do n o t differ more
from each other than th e known
varieties of the common cultivated 1 8 7 . n t l s T u lp in a .

^ ‘Leaves compound, alternate, exstipulate, deciduous; palmate, pinnate,
or bipinnate. Flowers small. — Tendriled climbers, natives of North America.
The species in British gardens are two, of the easiest culture in any
common soil ; and one of them, A. /lederacea, is among th e most ornamental
o f hardy climbers.
