A large twiner ; nearly glabrous, young parts hoary. Leaves 3-4 in., nerves 

 prominent ; petiole 2-3 in. Peduncles 1-4 in., stout ; bracts early deciduous ; 

 corymbs 2-5 in. diam., 10-40-flowered. Sepals hoary, in fruit somewhat enlarged 

 in. diam. glabrate. Corolla very variable in size, always prominently lobed, glabrous 

 or nearly so. Capsule % in. diam., globose, Seeds with hairs often more than in. 

 long. Kesembles Rivea tilicefolia (Thwaites). 



VAB. illustris ; leaves ovate or oblong cordate or hastate, corymbs often few- 

 flowered, sepals nearly glabrous, corolla often 4 in. shallowly or deeply lobate. 

 Malay Peninsula, from Moulmein southwards. DISTRIB. Malay Islands. The size 

 and lobation of the corolla vary so greatly that there may be two species here ; a 

 Moulmein example collected by Parish has the corolla 4|- in., very shallowly lobed, 

 the calyx glabrate, and is very different from the Malabar ones with corolla only 

 1| in. long. Miquel must be mistaken in saying (FL Ind. Bat. ii. 606) that Spanoghe's 

 7. campanulata cannot be Linnaeus' /. campanulata because the seeds are woolly ; for 

 Linnaeus' species is founded on Kheede's picture (Hort. Mai. xi. t. 46), which (and the 

 description) attributes silky seeds to the species. 



44. I. G-omezii, Clarke; leaves ovate-cordate acute entire glabrous, 

 corymbs peduncled few-fld., sepals 1-lg- in. elliptic glabrous, corolla very large. 



TAVOY ; Gomez. ANDAMANS ; Kurz. 



A large climber, resembling /. campanulata, var. illustris, but with a much larger 

 calyx. Leaves 3-6 in., sinus wide, nerves prominent; petiole 2 in. Peduncles 1-3 

 in., stout; bracts caducous. Sepals in young fruit erect, much imbricate. Corolla 4 

 by 3 in., campanulate. The Malay 7. pcltata, Choisy, resembles this, but hag a 

 smaller calyx and peltate leaves.
