204 CI. CONVOLYULACEX. (C. B. Clarke.) [ Ipomea. 
Var. lobata ; leaves 3-7-lobed sometimes nearly to the base, lobes narrowed near 
their bases, capsule } in. diam. papery glabrous, seeds ellipsoid minutely adpressedly 
fulvous-silky with braid-like markings.—S. Deccan Peninsula; Wight, Stocks, Law. 
Wight has named this Z. hepaticifolia, Burm., from which it recedes in the dis- 
tinctly-cordate ovate bracts. 
20. X. pes-tigridis, Zinn.; Roxb. Fl. Ind., ed. Carey & Wall. ii. 93; 
hairy, leaves deeply 5-9-lobed, heads peduncled, outer bracts ovate or elliptic 
oblong not cordate, corolla medium-sized funnel-shaped pink. Blume Bid.

Throughout Innra from the Punjab to Malacca and Ceylon, frequent in the drier 
low hills.—Disrris. Malaya, China, Polynesia, Tropical Africa. 
Stems twining, patently hirsute. Leaves 1-5 in. diam., hirsute on both surfaces ; 
lobes elliptic, acuminate, narrowed at the base; petiole 1-2 in.  Peduncles 5-3 1n.; 
heads dense, fulvous-hirsute, outer bracts 1 in., inner smaller narrower acute. Sepals 
3-3 in. lanceolate, acute, hirsute, hardly enlarged in fruit. Corolla 1} in. tube 
narrow, mouth suddenly widened, sparsely hairy without. Capsule + in., ovoid, 
papery, glabrous. Seeds minutely velvety or nearly glabrous. 
Var. hepaticifolia; leaves 3-lobed or angular. I. hepaticifolia, Linn. Sp. Pl. 230;

Convolvulus hepaticifolius, Spreng. Syst. i. 594.—S. Deccan Peninsula and Ceylon; 
requent. 
Var. capitellata; leaves ovate-cordate acute entire. I. capitellata, Chois. Convolv. 
Or. 75, and in DC. Prodr. ix. 363. I. tamnifolia, Burm. Fl. Ind. 50, partly (as to 
the Indian plant) not of Linn. Convolvulus eapitellatus, Wall. Cat. 2250.— Through- 
out the Deccan extending north to Behar and Hindoostan ; not rare.—A complete 
series connects the J. pes-tigridis with its 3-lobate-leaved form, and another connects 
it with the entire-leaved form. The entire-leaved form has been supposed to be 
Wight's Z. bracteata; while on the other hand Wight supposed his J. bracteata with 
lobed leaves to be J. hepaticifolia. The two species are easily separable, I. brac- 
teata having bracts obtuse outer distinctly cordate : Z. pes-tigridis bracts acute outer 
not at all cordate. 
21. I. eriocarpa, Br. Prodr. 484; hairy, leaves oblong-cordate acute, 
heads sessile, bracts ovate-linear, corolla small campanulate pink, capsule 
patently hairy. Chois. in DC. Prodr. ix. 369; Benth. Fl. Austral. iv. 426.

Stems twining, patently villous. Leaves 2} by 1 in. sparsely hairy on both 
surfaces; petiole 1 in. Peduncles 0, or (in one Hindoostan example of Thomson s) 
j-23 in.; heads sometimes few-fld., rarely reduced to one subsessile flower ; bracts $ 
in., hirsute; sepals similar to the bracts but smaller, unaltered in fruit. Corolla 3 
in. Capsule } in., globose. Seeds puberulous. 
22, I. Stocksii, Clarke; hairy, leaves elliptic subacute, heads sessile, 
bracts lanceolate inconspicuous, corolla small, capsule glabrous.
