Near T. Lepiniana Cogn. ; but distinguishable by the bifid 

 tendrils ; from 7\ bracteata Cogn. by the bifid tendrils and much 

 lacerate bracts. Very like, or perhaps quite identical with, a 

 Chinese specimen at Kew which is named IrlcJiosanthes palmata 

 EoxB. The type of the same species is quite different from the 

 Chinese specimen and also from the present plant. The bracts 

 of the type are usually entire or but a little fimbriate in the 

 upper ones, while those of my plant are very deeply fimbriate.
