Scandent ; branchlets pubescent. Leaves 4l by 3 in., broadest near the base, 
membranous ; nerves 9 pairs, distinct beneath, lower patent; petiole often 1 in.

named this plant J. cuspidatum, but abandoned the name on finding that Roth had 
applied it to a very different species. Wight’s figure does not show the very acute 
petals, which are conspicuous in his examples.

J. erectiflorum which has glabrous cymes and calyx-teeth, and a less compound in- 
florescence.
