The plant common in the Deccan is J. longiflora ; that from Dolos- 

 bage district, Ceylon is I. jticunda. 



This species is easily recognised by its close general resemblance to the true 

 moon-flower, and as easily differentiated by its habitat, by its included stamens, 

 by its blunt sepals, and by its hairy seeds. From I. longiflora (I. trichosperma) it is 

 as easily differentiated by its leaves never being lobed or hastate ; though some- 

 times those of I. longiflora are entire and therefore not distinguishable from those 

 of I. glaherrima, the corolla-tube of I. longiflora is rather widely funnel-shaped below 

 the limb, while that of I. glaherrima is straight as in the true moon-flower. Kurz 

 (For. Flor. Brit. Burma ii., 218j in his Ipomoea campanidata, which is mainly 

 Argyreia tiliaefolia, has also included this plant.
