OIjs. it comes very near to U. scandens, Smith : which as 1 have 

 remarked above is the same as Roxburgh's U- piiosa. It differs in 

 having longer and more distinct hairs ; the leaves beinjf narrower and 

 rather shorter, acute and not rounded or retuse at the base ; J he sti- 

 pules being broader, decidedly two-leaved, membranous; peduncles 

 shorter; the coroll® almost smooth. it appeals to be a slenderer 

 shrub*

Shrubby, scandent. Leaves petioled, broad-ovate, acuminate, 

 smooth and shining above, villous, strongly nerved, and reticulate 

 underneath. Heads solitary, axillary, covered with grey tomentum. 



I have received abundance of specimens with flowers and unripe 

 capsules from Mr. Francis D'Silva, my plant-collector at Sdhet, 

 who tells me the shrub flowers in September.
