This species, commonly known under the name of /. fas- 
tugiata is distributed from southern Florida and the West Indies 
to Central America and tropical South America. Willdenow’s 
name is based upon an American plant while that of Roxbury’s 
is based upon a plant of India, and the two may not be identical. 
If 7. platanifolia R. & S. (Syst. 4: 220. 1819), which is 
based on Convolvulus platantfolius Vahl. (Symb. 3: 26. 1794) 
should be the same, and it is usually referred to 7. fastigiata 
Sweet, then this species would take the name /pomoea platant- 
folta (Vahl.) R. & S. 
- Ipomoea Jaliscana 
Ipomoea stans var. hirsuta Robinson, Proc. Am. Acad. 29; 
319. 1894. Not LZ. hirsuta R. Br. 1810. 
Related to 7. stans Cav., but very distinct from that species 
by its conspicuously hirsute stem and leaves, the blades sessile, 
relatively broader and more inclined to be lobed toward the 
base; sepals shorter than in /. s¢azs, only 6-8 mm. long, subor- 
bicular.
