This is common on the banks of the river in the town. It forms a large bush with 
lavender-coloured flowers, but is hardly a climbing plant here, as it is described in the 
‘ Flora of British India, vol. iii. p. 337. It has a habit of emitting shoots from the roots, 
and is easily propagated from cuttings in this way. It has not hitherto been recorded 
from the Malay Peninsula, but only as a native of Burmah and Siam.
