200 CL CONVOLVULACEEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Ipomea. 
in., ovoid, subglobose, smooth.—Probably an American plant, naturalised in the 
bà World. Z. scabra, Forsk., is adduced as a syn. by Choisy (DC. Prodr. ix. 344), 
which, if this is correct, is the oldest name; but Forskahl says his plant had 5-lobed 
leaves, hence the name of Linnzus and Meissner has been here retained. ' 
Van. integrifolia, Chois.; leaves ovate-cordate acute entire, peduncles about. as 
long as the petioles, sepals elliptic much elongate. I cerulescens, Roxb. Hort. Beng. 
14, and FV. Ind. i. 500, and ed. Carey § Wall. ii, 90.—Cultivated and apparently 
wild. Intermediate states connect this with Z. hederacea. It is often called Z. his- 
pida, but it differs from that in the elongate ligulate termination to the sepals. 
Var. himalaica; leaves and flowers larger, sepals in fruit attaining 15, In., seeds 
densely closely villous.— Himalaya, alt. 4-5000 ft., from Kashmir to Sikkim, in the 
inner valleys at some distance from the plains. 
8. I. purpurea, Lamk. Ill. i. 466; hairy, leaves ovate-cordate acute 
entire, peduncles few-fld., sepals elliptic-oblong acute patently hirsute near the 
base, seeds glabrous. Meissn. in Mart. Brasil. vi. 223. Convolvulus pur- 
pureus, Linn.; Bot. Mag. tt. 113, 1005, 1682. 
Inpa; ascending to 3-7000 ft. in Kashmir, Sikkim, the Khasia Mts. and W. 
Deccan Peninsula, probably not a native.—DisrRiB. Tropical America ; extensively 
cultivated in all warm countries. ` 
Resembles the entire-leaved var. of J. hederacea; but the leaves are smaller; 
peduncles often longer and slenderer; pedicels 1 in., umbelled, deflexed in fruit; 
sepals 3-3 in., unequal, without the ligulate termination characteristic of I. hederacea. 
Inhabits very remote parts of the mountains, and has about as good a claim to be 
regarded as Indian as has J. hederacea. 
9. I. laciniata, Clarke; glabrous, leaves 5-7-partite segments serrate or 
pinnatifid, peduncles 1-3-fld. shorter than the leaves, corolla-tube long linear.

Stem slender, creeping or twining. Leaves 1-2 in. diam., subdigitate, lobes 
elliptic or almost linear; petiole }-1 in. Peduncles mostly 1-fld., thickened upwards 
in fruit; bracts } in., linear. Sepals 1-1 in., elliptic, somewhat wider in fruit. 
Corolla white, tube 2 by $ in., purple within, limb 14-2 in. diam. Anthers scarcely 
exserted. Ovary 3-celled. Capsule 1 in., ovoid, subglobose, glabrous. Seeds closely, 
densely furred. l
