Stems much twining, glabrous, often muriculate, sometimes in places hairy. 
Leaves 1-2 in, ; petiole 3—2 in. Peduncles 4-3 in.; bracts small, caducous ; cymes 
dense. Sepals 2 in., ultimately spreading. Corolla 1—$ in., funnel-shaped, glabrous 
without, uniform yellow. Capsule i in. and upwards, ovoid, somewhat angular, top

Var. affinis; less diffuse, more pubescent, cymes 3-7-fld., sepals pubescent or

bund ; Wallich, H. f. 4 T., &c., frequent. Distrib. Burma.—Referred by Choisy (in 
DC. Prodr. ix. 380) to I. gemella, Roth., with which it can have no near affinity; 1t 
is yey near J. chryseides, but has a larger wider corolla, and much longer 
pedicels.

Deccan PrwiNsULA and Ceyo, alt. 0-3000 ft., common ; extending northwards 
to Rajputana and Behar.—Drsrnrs. S. E. Asia, Tropical Africa. 
Closely creeping, much branched, often rooting from nearly every node. Leaves 
4-1} in., often small, broader than long, obtuse, sometimes ovate, occasionally 3- 
lobed ; petiole 3-2 in. Peduncles usually subobsolete, 1-3-flowered ; bracts incon- 
spieuous. Sepals $ in., glabrescent on the back, ciliate, even in fruit. Corolla 3-4 
in. campanulate. Capsule 2 in., subglobose, 2-celled ; cells often l-seeded. Seeds 
glabrous, dark chestnut-coloured.—Choisy says this species was Convolvulus gan- 
geticus, Linn. Amen. Acad. iv. 306 (Evolvulus, Linn. Sp. Pl. 391), to which species 
Linneeus assigns “ leaves and flowers very hirsute, peduncles capillary.”
