Scandent, glabrous. Leaves 2J by J in., base obtuse or rounded, coriaceous, 

 definitely 3-nerved in the cultivated examples, more membranous and anastomosing 

 nerves more distinct in the native ; petiole ^ in. in the wild, ^ in. in the cultivated

 linear ; pedicels ^— f in., not much thickened. Calyx-teeth J in. Corolla-tvie } in., 

 lobes 4 by ^ in. Fruit not seen. — Ker, -whose figure of this species is excellent, 

 nevertheless says he could not distinguish it from J. angmstifoliwrn (by which Ker , 

 meant J. sessiliflorum) ; it has 3-nerved leaves, the corolla-lobes much longer.

 represent a species, apparently closely allied to J. la/u/rifolivm,. but the nervation of 

 the leaves is altogether different.
