This species appears, from tlie dried specimens we have examined, 

 and which are all rather poor, to be hardly a twiner to the same 

 extent as the other species of this section are. The leaves are 

 almost constantly opposite, except where one is replaced by a 

 peduncle. The stems are very shining and brittle, the leaves 

 membranous and flowers large. It cannot be confounded with, 

 any other.
