This comes very near the Australian J. heterophylla, R. Br., with which it is 
united by Hallier in Engl. Jahrb. xviii. 125. The seeds of the Australian plant are 
slightly smaller, and have a mottled brown-black pubescence, whereas the seeds in 
the African specimens bear a shorter uniform brown pubescence. 
11. Ileptocaulos, Hallier f. in Engl. Jahrb. xviii. 126. Peren- 
nial. Stems long, slender, climbing, like the whole plant sparsely and 
minutely puberulous. Leaves long petioled, 11-2} in. long, }-1} in. 
broad at the base, deeply cordate-sagittate, acute, sometimes glabrous 
above, pubescent beneath. Peduncle very short, 1—2-flowered ; pedicels 
subclavate, up to 6 lin. long. Sepals linear-lanceolate, equal, pubescent, 
glaucous green, 3 lin. long. Corolla under 1 in. long, pale red, funnel- 
shaped. Capsule small, glabrous.

12. I. Morsoni, Baker in Kew Bulletin, 1894, 71. Annual. Stems 
very slender, twining, subglabrous. Leaves entire, cordate-ovate, 
acuminate, sparsely hairy on both surfaces, up to 24 in. long, witha 
broad rounded open basal sinus; petiole 1-14 in. long. Flowers solitary 
from the axils of the leaves on peduncles 3-4 lin. long. Calyx glabrous, 
3 lin. long; sepals ovate, acute to acuminate. Corolla funnel-shaped,

13. I. demissa, Hallier f. in Engl. Jahrb. xviii. 129. Perennial. 
Stems slender, procumbent or flexuose at the tip, glabrous. Leaves 
shortly petioled, cordate-ovate, 14 in. long, glabrous, ciliate ; petiole 
clothed with minute spreading hairs. Peduncle 1—2-flowered, about 1 in. 
long ; pedicels divaricate, subclavate, 6—8 lin. long ; bracts minute, sub- 
clavate. Sepals linear-lanceolate, acuminate, pubescent, 3 lin. long. 
Corolla under 1 in. long, chamois yellow, funnel-shaped.—Hallier f. in

Hallier (in Engl. Jahrb. xxviii. 38) places this species between J. fragilis and I. 
obscura in the section ZLeiocalyx, but the linear-lanceolate, very acute, shortly 
cinereo-pilose sepals seem to remove it from this affinity. 
14. I. curtipes, Rendle. Annual. Stems slender, twining, finely 
pubescent, with a faint reddish tinge. Leaves entire, linear-oblong 
narrowing to the apex on the upper part of the shoot, becoming 
cordate-ovate below, apex subacute, mucronulate, basal lobes rather small, 
rounded, spreading, slightly pubescent on both sides, hairs adpressed, Lo 
2 in, long ; petioles slender, }—1 in. long. Flowers solitary in the axils 
of the leaves; peduncles almost suppressed; bracts small, lanceolate, about 
1 lin. long; pedicels 3-4 lin. long. Calyx thinly pubescent ; sepals ovate; 
obtuse, 22-3 lin. long, the inner slightly narrower with shortly acumr 
nate apex. Corolla funnel-shaped, purplish, very hairy, 6 lin. long. 
Filaments unequal, 1?~2 lin. long, base slightly dilated and shortly hairy
