602 CAMPANULACE (Sond.) | Cyphia. 
Perennial. Branches 4-6 feet. Leaves about 1-1} inch long and broad, much 
veined and paler beneath; petiole 4-6 lines long. Flowers shortly pedicellate, the 
lower fascicles 6-8 flowered, 3-4 times shorter than the leaf, distant from the follow- 
ing fascicle by an interval of 2 inches. Uppermost flowers more approximte, as 
long or longer than the bracteze. Corolla 4-5 lines long. Ovary half superior. 
18. C. crenata (Sond.); quite glabrous; stem and branches filiform 
striate, twining; leaves shortly petiolate, ovato- or oblongo-lanceolate, 
dentato-lobate at the base, remotely denticulated at the apex; upper 
ones lanceolate crenato-serrate ; racemes axillary, few-flowered, subses- 
sile, about as long as the leafy bractew; pedicels much longer than the 
linear bracteole ; calyx-lobes linear-lanceolate, erect, spreading, acute, 
4-5 times longer than the very short tube, $ shorter than the narrow 
spreading petals, Lobelia crenata. Thunb.! Prod. p. 39. Fl. Cap. p. 180.

Thunb. Drege. (Herb., Thunb., Sd.) 
Habit of Convolvulus like the preceding. Leaves 2-3 inches long, 6-10 lines wide, 
membranaceous, remotely and bluntish-toothed, the upper ones about 1 inch long, 
3-4 lines wide, the bractez entire or nearly so, Petiole 2-3 lines long. Raceme 
shortly peduncled or subsessile, 3-5 flowered, pedicels unequal, 4-8 lines long, with 
2 bracteolz at the base. Calyx-lobes entire, 2 lines long. Petals acuminate, rather 
longer than the calyx, equalling the style, with incrassate apex. Capsule sub- 
globose, the size of a pea, It varies but rarely with solitary pedicels in the upper- 
most axils. The raceme, if indistinctly-peduncled, has the aspect of an umbel. 
Drege’s specimens are more perfect than those of Thunberg. C. crenata Presi is a 
doubtful plant ; it seems not different from C. sylvatica. 
14. C. heterophylla (Presl! E. & Z. 2429) ; glabrous ; stem and 
branches twining, terete ; leaves petiolate, the lower ovate or oblong, 
acute, unequally denticulate or serrate, angulate or subtrilobed at the 
base, upper ones trilobed, lobes lanceolate, acute, serrate and entire, 
middle lobe 2-3-times longer ; flowers axillary, solitary, disposed in an 
elongate raceme ; pedicels bibracteolate in the middle, equalling the 
evato-lanceolate bractez ; calyx-lobes lanceolate, acute, 3-times longer 
than the tube, 4—5-times shorter than the petals, Z. Mey. comm. pl.

Branches very long. Leaves very variable in size, the lower and middle 1-2 inches 
long, the upper 6-8 lines long, with very short lateral lobes. Petiole 4-6 lines long. - 
Bractee and pedicels 6-3 lines long. Calyx-lobes acuminate. Corolla 6-8 lines 
long, twice as long as the stamens and style. It varies with sessile and petiolate 
bractez, and shorter pedicels. = Ay
