8. Ipomcea PiLEATA. — Received under this name from Java; 

 seed furnished by the late Mr. Davis, C.S. ; a stout, climbing species, 

 having broad tomentose, heart-shaped leaves, cross-veined ; flowers 

 white ; seeds covered with long, dark hair. Garden Hewra. The 

 specific name we have been unable to trace, but leave it for future 

 inquiry. In the foregoing enumeration of the ConVolvulacese exotic, 

 or presumed to be so, it is to be noted that the list can be by no means 

 complete, seeing that many species raised from exotic seed are likely 

 to be found in the gardens of private persons. It is hoped that 

 a list of all such introductions as may be considered established 

 will yet be furnished in time for a future edition of this work.
