Fpomoea. pentandria monogynia. 499 



3. I. muricata. R. 



Annual, twining-, muricate. Leaves cordate. Peduncles 

 few-flowered ; inside of the tube of the corols hairy. 



Convolvulus muricatus. Linn. Mant. 44. 



I have only met with this in my own garden ; it was raised 

 from seeds sent from Persia and proves annual. 



Stem as in I. grandi/lora, but much more murexed, and 

 not so long, the leaves also the same, but much larger. Pe- 

 duncles axillary, half the length of the petioles, from two to 

 six-flowered. Flowers large, pale bluish-purple. Tube wid- 

 ening- a little towards the mouth ; inside hairy, by which 

 mark it is instantly distinguished from I. grandiflora. 



4. I. mul ti flora. R. 



Stems woody, twining*. Leaves broad-cordate, downy. Pe- 

 duncles as long- as the leaves, umbelliferous. 



A common species, native of hedges, forests. Sec. Flower- 

 ing time the cold season. 



Stem perennial, woody, twining- up, and over trees and 

 bushes. Leaves scattered, petioled, broad-cordate, entire, a 

 little bent downwards, bristle-like pointed, both sides a little 

 downy, particularly the under one, from three to four inches 

 each way. Petioles round, downy, from two to three inches 

 long 1 . Umbels three or five-parted, many-flowered. Pedun- 

 cles round, nearly erect, longer than the leaves. Flowers nu- 

 merous, very large, rose-coloured ; inside of the tube a bright 

 red. Leaflets of the calyx unequal. Stigma two-lobed ; lobes 

 globular. 



Obs. This species while in flower is one of the greatest beau- 

 ties of our forests. Whether this is m hat Konig- called lpo- 

 moea Burmanni or not I cannot say. 



5. I. sepiaria. Kon. JMss. 



Perennial, twining-, hairy. Leaves cordate. Peduncles 

 many-flowered, and with the pedicels clavate; capsule four- 

 celled,
