Extensively scandent, twining. Leaves 3-4 in., mostly entire (in the Indian plant), 
those on the runners often lobed ; petiole often 3-5 in. Peduncles 1-4 in. ; bracts 
caducous; cymes dense, pedicels rarely exceeding 4 in. Flower and fruit very 
nearly as of 7. denticulata, from which it differs little except in its numerous shorter 
pedicels.— A common American species, introduced in S. E. Asia, Miquel (FT. Jnd. 
Bat. ii. 616). Roxburgh describes it as a native of the interior of Bengal, and in 
flower most part of the year, but no one has met with the plant wild.
