Perennial, twining, hairy. Leaven cordate, and generally some- 

 what angular, downy. Peduncles longer than the leaves, from one 

 to four-flowered. Bractes lanceolar. Calycine leaflets acute and 

 very unequal. 



Hind. Jurud-kulmi. 



]s a species common in hedges, &c. over the coast of Coroman- 

 del. Flowers during the rains. 



Stems twining 1 , herbaceous, round, covered with soft hair, or 

 down, from one to two fathoms long. — Leaves alternate, petioled, 

 broad-cordate, sometimes slightly and irregularly lobate, downy, 

 from one to four inches long. — Feduiicles axillary, twice as long as 

 the "leaves, slender, erect, downy, ending in a small head of from two 

 to four sessile flowers. — Bractes lanceolate, one or two pressing on 

 each of the calyces — F lowers middle-sized, yellow, bottom of the 

 bell, deep purple. — Stigma of two globular heads. — - Capsules hairy, 

 four-celled. — Seeds black, one in each cell. 



Obs. Since writing the above description I have often met with 

 plants, having one-, and two-flowered peduncles. It is therefore very- 

 likely that those varieties include both C. sub-lobatus, and bicolor.
