16. A. nellygherya, Chois. Convolv. Or. 82, and in DC. Prodr. ix. 329 ; 
leaves subcordate elliptic subacute softly hairy above densely villous beneath, 
peduncles shorter than the leaves, cymes few-fld. subcapitate, bracts oblong 
persistent, sepals j in. ovate obtuse. Convolvulus pomaceus, Wall. Cat. 1419,

Differs little from A. Leschenaultii except that the leaves are only half as wide 
(2-23 in.) and much more shaggy, often rufescent somewhat shining beneath. It is 
also very near A. pomacea, but has larger sepals and peduncles often 2-3 in. 
17, A. malabarica, Chois. Convolv. Or. 38, and in DC. Prodr. ix. 331 ; 
stem pubescent, leaves ovate-cordate acute sparsely hispid on both surfaces 
ultimately nearly glabrous, peduncles 2-5 in., bracts elliptic or oblong, sepals in 
fruit 4-2 in. elliptic-lanceokate. Dalz. & Gibs. Bomb. Fl. 169. Convolvulus

Founded on Rheede's plate, no authentic example being seen by any author, with 
which, however, Wight’s Herb. n. 2353 (named A. Leschenaultii) very closely agrees. 
—Wight had a ms. species, 4. courtallensis, in his Herb., the plant on which Choisy 
founded his A. Leschenaultii. Hence, Wight having the name A. Leschenaultii in 
bey applied it to his n. 2353; but the three species are so near that they might 
e made one. 
_ 18. A. hirsuta, Arn. Pugill. Pl. Ind. Or. 38 ; leaves ovate-cordate acute 
Villous above shaggy beneath, peduncles very long patently hispid, bracts pro- 
minent linear or oblong outer often petioled leaflike, sepals 3 in. ovate obtuse.

Nicuerry Mrs., common ; Wight, &e. . 
Probably, as Arnott suggests, a large form of A. nellygherya, which the sepals, 
Corolla, and fruit resemble. The peduncles are often 4-8 in., and the outer petioled 
Tract makes the cymes pseudo-sessile. The needle-like hairs on the stems and 
Peduncles also give the plant a different aspect. . 
AR. coacta; leaves cordate triangular-ovate acute closely shortly silky beneath, 
peduncles very long, bracts large elliptic-oblong flat sparsely hairy. Rivea zeylanica,

4. hirsuta, Arn. 
19. A. pilosa, Arn. Pugill. Pl. Ind. Or. 38; leaves ovate subcordate 
pute hairy on both surfaces, peduncles shorter than the leaves, flowers capitate, 
Tacts linear persistent, sepals elliptic-lanceolate acute often bristly upwards.
