Species insignis, ad J. acuminatam 
Benth. in Wall. Cat. n. 4754, quodam- 
modo accedens: affinis est etiam Z. fasci- 
culate quibusdam varietatibus ob folia 
et petalorum structuram. Caulis 4—10- 
Calcar fere omnino ut in J. 
It is probable that I. repens, Moon's Cat. 
Ceyl. pl. p. 18, belongs to this; but as no 
characters are published, it is impossible to 
refer to any of his species with certainty.
