208 CI. CONVOLVULACEZ. (C. B. Clarke.) [Ipomaa . 
Annual, twining. Leaves 3 by 2 in.; petiole 2 in. Peduncles 4-1} in.; bracts 
linear, deciduous ; pedicels 1-1 in., racemose or subumbellate. Sepals } in., glabrous. 
Corolla 3 in., campanulate, glabrous, often yellowish near the base. Anthers „ever 
twisted. Capsule 3-4 in. ovoid, glabrous, 2-celled, 2-valved, 4-2-seeded. - Seeds 
ellipsoid, glabrous.—' The Indian specimen is rather more developed, both in leaf 
and cyme, than the original Linnean type, but is identical with the specimens col- 
lected by Pallas. 
33. I. poranoides, Clarke; glabrous, leaves ovate-lanceolate cordate 
caudate entire, cymes peduncled many-flowerd lax, bracts ovate mucronate 
persistent, sepals ovate obtuse unequal, corolla small white. 
Sixxm and Bnrrisg Buoran ; alt. 3-5000 ft., frequent, Clarke. 
Scandent, twining. Leaves 3 by 2 in.; petiole 1} in. Peduncles 1-3 in. ; bracts 
-3 in., at the divisions of the divaricate cyme. Sepals 4-1 in., glabrous. Corolla 
2 in., subcampanulate, glabrous, white, often yellowish near the base. Anthers never 
twisted. Capsule 1 in., subglobose, smooth, 2-celled, 2-4-valved, normally 4-seeded. 
Seeds glabrous.—By the prominent persistent bracts, this species is not likely to be 
confounded with any other Zpomea; but it has probably been passed for Porana 
racemosa, which it somewhat resembles in its scandent habit and numerous white 
flowers in lax cymes. 
34, I. cynanchifolia, Clarke; hairy, leaves ovate-lanceolate cordate 
acuminate entire, peduncles 0, pedicels racemose or subfasciculate, bracts 
caducous, sepals lanceolate elongate, corolla small rose, capsule glabrous. 
Convolvulus cynanchifolius, Wall. Cat. 1399. 
Sixxiw and Buotan ; alt. 2-5000 ft., frequent, Clarke.—Distris. Burma. . 
Seandent, twining. Leaves 3 by 14 in., more or less hairy; petiole 1-2. Pedicels 
1 in., rigid, fascicled, or forming a raceme 1-2 in., recurved in fruit. Sepals 3-5 10. 
hirsute, blackish green, widening in fruit. Corolla 3-2 in., campanulate, glabrous, 
with a dark spot at the base. Anthers never twisted. Ovary 2-celled, 4-ovuled; 
stigma small, of 2 subsessile globes. Capsule 1-4 in., subglobose, 2-celled, usually 
4-seeded. Seeds glabrous.—Regarded by Choisy (in DC. Prodr. ix. 366) as identical 
with J. eriocarpa, from his never having seen Wallich’s specimens. J. cynanchifolia 
is very near J. calcina, Benth, but the sepals (even in fruit) are not cordate. 
35. I. Glenieii, Thwaites in litt. ; glabrous, leaves subcordate elongate- 
oblong entire, peduncles 1-fld. ebracteate, sepals ovate subacute, corolla middle- 
sized subcampanulate. 
CEYLON ; Thwaites. 
Creeping, hardly twining. Leaves 2 by } in., shallowly cordate, gradually nar- 
rowed from the very base to the apex, not acuminate, undulate; petiole 1 1". 
Peduncles 4-4 in. Sepals 4-4 in., obscurely muricate. Corolla $ in., tube 4-5 1 
broad. — Described from a fragment which flowered at Kew in 1871; it appears very 
istinct. 
36. I. denticulata, Chois. in DC. Prodr. ix. 379, not of R. Br. 
glabrous, leaves ovate-cordate acute entire denticulate angular or somewhat 
lobed, peduncles short 1—3-fld., pedicels long, sepals elliptic suddenly acute,
