A large, free flowering, woody climber, met with on the hills.

on the hillsides.

~ 
Alstonra verticillosa, F. v. M. 
I only met with this tree in a young state, 6 to 9 feet high, too 
young to flower. 
Parsonsia nesophila, Bail, n.sp. 
A very large velvety climber of little or no beauty. Flowers 
small, yellow. 
Loganiacee. (Strychnos Family.) 
Mitrasacme polymorpha, R. Br. 
A small straggling plant found on damp land. Flowers white. 
Convolvulaceee. (Morning Glory Family.) 
Ipomea alata, R. Br. ‘ Winged Stemmed Morning Glory.” 
I saw no flowers, but from the old foliage and seed capsules, I 
think it Brown’s plant. It is a very large climber, and grows 
over the shrubs near the beach. 
I. paniculata, R. Br. “ Panicled Morning Glory.” 
Found with the last, and, like it, a rampant climber. 
I. hederacea, Jacq. ‘Ground-ivy Morning Glory” 
This is a great climber, but met with further from the beach, 
liking the scrub land. The seeds of this plant even at the present 
time are used in India as a purgative, under the name of “ Kala- 
dana.” 
I. angustifolia, Jacq. ‘Narrow-leaved Morning Glory.” 
A pretty twiner with narrow leaves 1 to 3 inches long, often 
enlarged and toothed at the base. 
I. Pes-capre, Roth. ‘ Goat’s-foot Morning Glory.” 
A prostrate plant found running along the beach sands, the 
leaves usually two-lobed. 
Polymeria ambigua, R. Br. 
Stems trailing on the coast sands. Leaves slender, oblong, often 
mucronate, and at the base cordate.
