This is a rather common low-level climber in western Hupeh and Szech’uan. 
Our specimens differ from Makino’s description only in the perfectly glabrous style. 
The leaves vary considerably in size, and in some specimens are as large as those 
of G. ovata Wallich. 
Besides this species there occurs in China one other undescribed species, the de-
