 The species is also in the Mauritius, Timor, the Phillppiaes, and probably in other islands 

 of the Indiau Archipelago. 



The Timor specimens, from the collection described by Decaisue, have the flowers rnfher 

 smaller than usual ; the Philippine Island specimens referred to by De Candolle are rather 

 inore hairy ; some of R. Brown's have remarkably long flowers, the sleoder corolla-tube 

 above 2^ or almost 3 lines long ; but in all these respects the Queensland speciniens from 

 other collections are variable, and all appear to belong to one species, remarkable tor its 

 climbing habit and exceptional style. According to Thozet, the flowery are blue ; other 

 collectors describe them sometimes as whitish, sometimes as pure white. I^/"f^^^^'*( /^f^ 

 into a bluish tint, it would seem probable that the common East Indian T. nridtjlora \s ail., 

 ^vhich is not to be distinguished in the dried state, but is said always to have green Hov^ers, 

 ought to be considered as a variety only of T. sarmentosa.
