gardens. (Herb. D., Sd., Hk.) 
A much branched, climbing suffrutex, many feet high. Petioles 1-1} inch long, 
slender, sometimes auricled at base. Leaves somewhat fleshy, drying thin, iry-shaped, 
variably lobed or angled. Corymb generally much branched, on weak shoots sub- 
simple. Inv. scarcely 2 lines long, much shorter than the flowers. As this is not 
Thunberg’s “ Cacalia scandens ;” and as the name “ scandens” is already occupied for 
an Indian species, I am compelled to reject it. 
159. S. deltoideus (Less.! Syn. 392) ; scandent, much branched, gla- 
brous or nearly so; leaves petiolate, often ear-stipuled at base of petiole, 
deltoid-hastate, acuminate, unequally multi-dentate; corymbs from the 
upper axils or in a terminal panicle, divaricate, forked, several-headed ; 
iny, scarcely calycled, of about 5 oblong, blunt scales; fl. 5-6; achenes 
hispid on the striae. DC./l.c. 404; also 8. Mikanie, DC.! and S.

A much branched, angularly bent, slender climber, several feet long. Leaves on 
uncial petioles, 1-2 inches long, 3-14 in. wide, trowel-shaped, more or less cordate at 
base, tapering to an acute point. Corymbs on very short peduncles, from the axils 
of the upper leaves or of leaf-scales, 6-12-headed ; sometimes in a divaricate panicle. 
Inv. 2 lineslong. Cooper's 1124, 1313 and 1513 belong to this, 
160. S. canalipes (DC. 1. c. 405); “suffrut., quite glabrous; branches 
terete ; leaves ovate, acute, here and there toothed, acuminate, produced 
at base into a very narrowly winged, channelled petiole, which is angular 
at back; corymb dichotomous, panicled; heads discoid, 12-15-fl.; inv. 
of 1 2-15 scales, calycled ; achenes terete, glabrous.” DC. /.c.

‘161. 8. quinquelobus (DC. 1. c. 404) ; scandent, quite glabrous ; lvs. 
petiolate, sharply 5—7-angled or lobed, cordate at base, the lobes deltoid 
or obsolete, with broad, shallow interspaces ; fl. branches with a few 
depauperated leaves, 3-5-headed; inv. amply calycled with broad, 
spreading bracteoles, of 12-15 scales; heads discoid, fi. 40-50; achenes 
glabrous.. Cacalia quinqueloba, Th. ! Cap. 626. 
Vas. 8. helminthoideus (Sch. B.); interspaces of the leaf-lobes denticulate ;

162. S. macroglossus (DC. 1. c. 404); scandent, quite glabrous ; lvs.
