11. l.pileata, JR.* 



Perennial, twining. Leaves profoundly round-cordate, villous. 

 Flowers a few, sessile in a peltate, four-cornered, peduncled, axilla- 

 ry bonnet. 



This rather small, villous species has been introduced from 

 China into the botanic garden at Calcutta, where it blossoms and 

 ripens its seeds during the cool dry months of November — February. 

 It is particularly remarkable on account of its entire, rhombiform 

 concave bonnet or involucre, in the bottom or centre of which, from 

 three to six middle sized, rosy, funnel-shaped flowers sit; it is hairy 

 round the flowers, as are also the unequal leaflets of the calyx. 



CALYSTEGIA. Brown. 



Calyx five-parted, enclosed in two foliaceous bractes. Corolla 

 companulate, five-plicate. Style entire. Stigmas two, obtuse. Cap- 

 sule one-celled. 



l.C. hederacea, Wall. 



Smooth, twining, sarmentose. Leaves trilobate-hastate, acute, 

 petioled, lateral lobes bi-tiifid ; radical oblong, cordate sub-entire. 

 Peduncles axillary several times longer than the leaves, one-flower- 



* Theip is an indifferent specimen of this remarkable plant in the hortus sic- 

 cus of my late friend Dr. B. Heyne, attached to this garden, labelled " Jpomeea pet- 

 Utcu—l, Coilcnensis, Klein."— N. W.
