Puate LXXXII. 
(A) CONVOLVULUS unputatus, Cav.; (B) C. penTaperaLorpEs, Linn. 
Natural Order ConvoLVULACE&. 
Gen. Cuar.—See description of Plate XXX. Part II. 
(A.) Spec. Cuar.—F lowers axillary, subsessile, the very short peduncle 
furnished with linear bracts at its base. Calyx of 5 ovate-acuminate, 
ciliate, herbaceous, unequal sepals, longer than the peduncle. Corolla 
funnel-shaped, shortly 5-lobed, nearly white with a ring of pale pink 
above the yellow throat. Ovary hidden in long silky hairs., Root leaves 
on petioles as long or longer than the ovato-elliptic blade; the leaves next 
above are spathulate, and the distinction between limb and petiole 
gradually dies out, so that the upper leaves become sessile, subauriculate, 
broadly ovate. Plant annual, leaves and stems covered with long fine 
hairs, not twining. 
Convolvulus undulatus, Cav. Ic. iii. 89, tab. 277, £1; C. eelelatces Dsf., 
Fl. Atlant. tab. 49; Wood’s Tour. FI. p. 250. 
(B.) Spec. Cuar.—F lowers axillary, on long peduncles, recurved in fruit, 
furnished midway with linear bracteoles. Calya of 5 ovate, subequal, 
subglabrous sepals, scarious in upper half of length, scorched at tip. 
Corolla spreading, deeply 5-lobed, finely pubescent on back, lilac, with 
yellow throat, paler outside. Ovary glabrous. oot-leaves on petioles 
equalling or exceeding the elliptic limb; the leaves next above are sub- 
spathulate, and the distinction between petiole and limb gradually dies 
out, so that the upper leaves become sessile, auriculate, oblongo-lanceolate. 
Plant annual, leaves finely pubescent, stems covered with short adpressed 
pubescence, not twining.

Hasrtats.—(A) San Remo, April 19,1871. (B) San Remo, April 19, 
1871. Both gathered by the Rev. Boscawen Somerset, and M. Panizzi. 
Remarks.—Convolvulus undulatus, Cav., is a rare species, and, as far as 
I can learn, San Remo is the only station for this plant in Italy, the other 
recorded habitats being Sicily (Nyman), central and southern Spain, 
Barbary, Egypt (Willkomm and Lange*), and in Tunis at Sbiba, west of 
Kairwan (Desfontaines); there are also specimens from near Saida in 
Algiers (Cosson) in the Kew Herbarium. The plant figured by Sibthorp 
and Smith in the Flora Greca (tab. 198), gathered on the island of 
Cyprus corresponds with C. wndulatus except in colour, the corolla being 
there represented as of an uniform lilac in its upper third. C. pentape-
