Dbccan Peninstila. ; frequent. Malay Peninsula ; from Prome southwards. — 

 Ceylon ; in the -waimer parts of the Island. — Disteib. Malay Archipelago. 



A large twiner ; nearly glabrous, young parts hoary. Leaves 3-4, in., nerves 

 prominent ; petiole 2-3 in. Peduncles 1-4 in., stout ; bracts early deciduous ; 

 corymbs 2-5 in. diam., 10-40-flo'wered. Sepals hoary, in fruit somewhat enlarged 

 J in. diam. glabrate. Corolla very variable in size, always prominently lobed, glabrous 

 or nearly so. CapstUe ^ in. diam., globose, Seeds with hairs often more than ^ in. 

 long. — Eesembles Eivea tiU(sfoUa (Thwaites). 



Vab. ilhstris ; leaves ovate or oblong cordate or hastate, corymbs often few- 

 flowered, sepals nearly glabrous, corolla often 4 in. shallowly or deeply lobate. — 

 Malay Peninsula, from Moulmein southwards. — Distrib. Malay Islands. — The size 

 and lobation of the coroUa vary so greatly that there may be two species here ; a 

 Moulmein example collected by Parish has the corolla 4J^ in., very shallowly lobed, 

 the calyx glabrate, and is very different from the Malabar ones with corolla only 

 1^ in. long. Miquel must be mistaken in saying {Fl. Ind. Bat. ii. 606) that Spanoghe's 

 I. campanulata cannot be Linnaeus' L campatmlata because the seeds are woolly ; for 

 Linnaeus' species is founded on Eheede's picture {Sort. Mai. xi. t. 46), which (and the 

 description) attributes silky seeds to the species. 



44. I> Gomezii, Clarke ; leaves ovate-cordate acute entire glabrous, 

 corymbs peduncled few-fld., sepals l-lj in. elliptic glabrous, corolla very large. 



Tavoy ; Gomez. Andamans ; Kurz. 



A large climber, resembling /. campanidata, var. illustris, but with a much larger 

 calyx. Leaves 3-6 in., sinus wide, nerves prominent; petiole 2 in. Peduncles 1-3 

 in., stout ; bracts caducous. Sepals in young fruit erect, much imbricate. CoroUa 4 

 by 3 in., campanulate. — The Malay 1. peliata, Choisy, resembles this, but has a 

 smaller calyx and peltate leaves. 



45. X. cymosa, Soem. Sf Sch. Syst. iv. 241; softly hairy or glabrous, 

 leaves cordate or hastate elliptic or oblong obtuse or shortly acute entire or 

 angular or toothed, peduncles shorter than the leaves, cymes compact, sepals 

 i-^ in. elliptic, corolla middle-sized pure white or tinged yellow, seeds patently 

 hirsute. Blume Cat. Oewass. Java, 60; Chois. Convolv. Or. 79, and m DC.
