with the protean foliage, and length of the corolla-tube, 
and size and breadth of its lobes, it varies from being quite 
glabrous to softly tomentose with white hairs; and the 
calyx-teeth, though usually very short and_ triangular- 
subulate, are sometimes narrowly subulate, and as long as 
the calyx-tube. Thunberg’s name of capense is most 
applicable, but unfortunately a few years later in date than 
the much less apposite one of angulare. That J. tortwoswm 
is the same thing seems certain; the names have been 
promiscuously applied in the collections of Cape Botanists, 
and the characters given for the two are not distinctive. 
Descr. A slender long branching climber, glabrous, 
pubescent or tomentose, or with pubescence confined to 
the axils of the leaf-nerves beneath, with green branches 
terete below and obtusely or subacutely four- to five-ribbed 
rather than angled towards the tips. Leaves opposite, 
trifoliolate, green, coriaceous; leaflets petiolulate, one to 
two inches long, of all forms between ovate orbicular and 
lanceolate, obtuse acute or mucronate; base acute, rounded, 
or rarely cordate; petiolules a quarter to one-third of an 
inch long; nerves few and slender. Flowers in clusters of 
three, which are axillary or disposed in a terminal panicle, 
pedicelled, white, inodorous. Calyx one-sixth of an inch 
long, cylindric-oblong, with five teeth which are equal to 
or shorter than the tube. Corolla white, tube two-thirds 
to one and a half inch long, very slender; lobes five to 
seven, lanceolate, subacute. Fruit of two globose carpels 
the size of a small pea.—J. D. H.
