Hardenbergia (after Franziska, Countess of Hardenberg, sister of Baron Huegel, a well-known traveler.) Leguminosae. Vines, grown chiefly for their handsome flowers. Twining herbs or subshrubs: lvs. pinnate with small stipules; lfte. 3 or 5, sometimes reduced to 1, entire, with stipels: fls. papilionaceous, small, on long racemes, ranging from white through pink and rosy purple to violet-blue, often with 1 or 2 green or yellowish spots on the standard; calyx 2-lipped, the upper 2 teeth connate; standard orbicular, with indexed auricles; keel obtuse, shorter than wings; ovary sessile; style short and thick: pod linear, flat or turgid, with several strophiolate seeds.—Three species in Austral, often referred to Kennedya, which has larger and differently colored fls. solitary or in short racemes, with the keel usually about as long as the wing. The two species in cult, are grown abroad under glass by those who are skilled in managing Australian woody plants; they prefer peaty and porous soil, as they are, like most Australian plants, impatient of too much or stagnant moisture. The species first mentioned is cult, outdoors in Calif. These plants can be trained into bush form. Prop, is by seeds or by greenwood cuttings of lateral shoots under glass in spring. H. retusa, Benth., is an anomalous species not cult. All other names in this genus are synonyms of the 2 species described above.
