This plant seems to have been frequently confounded 
with the Convolvulus grandiflorus of Linnaeus's Supplement, 
from w^hich it has been well distinguished in the Encyclo- 
p6die Methodique under the name here adopted. From 
that species it is distinguished by its leaves not being 
obtuse, by its annual stem, and by the leafstalks and stem 
not being downj. The Convolvulus grandifiorus is a native 
of the East Indies ; that no^ before us of St. Domingo and 
Martinique. 
We have no memorandum of the place where our draw- 
ing was made, or of the individual to whom the publishers 
are obliged . for it ; neither have we had any opportunity of 
seeing specimens of it. 
It is stated to be a fine annual plant which cannot be 
cultivated without the heat of a stove.
