Baron 2516 ! 2605 ! 2671 ! This is a Brazilian species, and 

 Mr. Baron's specimens quite agree with those gathered in Brazil 

 by Burchell. I have changed the specific name because Aniseia 

 is merged in Ipomcea by Bentham and Hooker, and there is 

 already an Ipomcea hastata of Linnaeus, which = Quamoclit 

 8agittcefolia of Choisy.
