Communicated by our friend Ropert Barcuay, Esq. of 
Bury Hill, who raised it from seeds sent from the Mauritius. 
We are not aware that this plant has been any where 
described. But we founda representation of the same species 
in a collection of drawings of Mysore plants, copied from 
Dr. Bucuanan’s, with the name of Convotvu us cunetformis 
affixed to it, perhaps by mistake, as we could discover no 
wedge-shaped leaves either in that drawing or in Mr. Bar- 
CLAY’s specimen. 
We have before expressed our dissatisfaction in regard to 
the characters applied to distinguish the genera of Convot- 
vuLus and Ipoma@a; and have been induced to apply the 
latter name to our present subject more from the form of the 
corolla so much resembling that of Ipoma@a imsignis, than 
from that of the stigma. 2
