 confertis oblanceolatis sessilibus basi auriculatis apice subacute 

 apicem versus nee acuminatis venis praecipue subtus conspicuis ; 

 fiorihns umbellatis in cyrois compositis ; cahjcis lobis exterioribus 

 suborbicularibus ; corollae tubo infra cylindraceo supra calycem 

 ampliato lobis oblongo-lanceolatis vix acutis 16-18; hracteis

Oban ; nn. 177, 1448, 2027. 



Leaves very large, the uppermost attaining 35 cm. in length and 

 13 cm. in breadth, considerably exceeding the inflorescences ; the 

 lower, to judge from n. 1448, may be 150-200 cm. long. Calyx 

 nearly 15 mm. long. Corolla over 2 • 5 cm. long ; lobes 13 mm. long 

 and 6-7 mm. broad. Berry 3 • 5 cm. long, and about 3 cm. broad. 



The affinities of this species are with A. lanceolafa Gilg, but it is 

 readily distinguished by the character of the corolla and the shape of 

 the leaves.

Oban ; n. 1661. 



A climbing shrub with slender leafy branches giving off spreading 

 branchlets at a right angle or nearly so ; tendrils 3 to nearly 4 cm. 

 long, pubescent. Leaves various in size and shape, now 9 x 3'5 cm., 

 often 6 '5-8 X 2 '7-0 cm., sometunes reduced to 2*5-4 x 2-2*5 cm. or 

 even less, drying bright green, paler below ; pair of lateral nerves 

 ascending, arcuate-anfractuose in the upper half or rather more of 

 their course, running for the most part at 3-5 mm. distance from the 

 margin ; ordinary lateral nerves about 6 pairs, inserted on the midrib 

 almost at a right angle, together with interpolated secondary nerves 

 and the rather lax reticulum prominent on both sides of the leaf ; 

 petioles stout, 2-3 mm. long, pubescent. Cymes about 5 mm. long. 

 Bracts cymbiform, 1-2 mm. long ; pedicels ± 2 mm. long. Floivers
