Dbccan Peninsula ; on the Ghats, from the Concan southwards, common, Wight, 



Scandent ; branchlets pubescent. Leaves 4y by 3 in., broadest near the base, 

 membranous ; nerves 9 pairs, distinct beneath, lower patent ; petiole often 1 in. 

 Cymes compound, triehotomous, not dense, many- (often 40-50-) flowered, branches 

 ascending ; bracts J-^ in., subulate ; pedicels J in. Calyx-teeth J in., subulate, acute. 

 CoroUa-twbe ^-| in. ; lobes ^ in., oblong, very acute. Fruit not seen. — Wight first 

 named this plant J. cuspidatwm, but abandoned the name on finding that Roth had 

 applied it to a very different species. Wight's figure does not show the very acute 

 petals, which are conspicuous in his examples. 



Vak. Lawii ; leaves ovate-lanceolate gradually acuminated, corolla-lobes nearly 

 1 in. long very narrow. — Concan ; Law ?. — These specimens have been referred to 

 J. erectiflorum which has glabrous cymes and calyx-teeth, and a less compound in- 

 florescence.
