Perak : Dindings, Scortechini 1066 ! Curtis 3449 ! Penang : 
Bagian Jumal, Curtis 1974 ! Pahang : Rumpin, Bidley ! Nicobars : 
■common. Andamans : very common. — Distrib. Coasts of the Indian 
and Pacific Oceans, from the Seychelles to Polynesia. 
This species, in the writer’s experience, prefers shingle beaches, though occasionally 
it is to be met with on sandy beaches along with I. biloba. 
8. Ipomcea triloba, Linn. Sp. PI. 229. A twining or prostrate 
herb with glabrous slightly angular stem. Leaves cordate, acuminate 
to an often rounded tip, entire or toothed or occasionally 3-lobed ; P5 
to 2 in. long, P25 to l - 75 in. wide ; petiole slender, 1'75 to 2 in. loDg. 
Flowers in axillary 1-4-flowered cymes ; peduncles 1 to 1'5 in. long ; 
bracts lanceolate, -2 in. long, deciduous ; pedicels - 25 to ‘35 in. long. 
Sepals lanceolate, acuminate, ciliate with spreading yellowish hairs, 
•35 in. long. Corolla tubular, purple, ‘5 in. long. Capsule pilose. 
Choisy in DC. Prod. IX. 383. 
Singapore : Hullett ! — Distrib. Cultivated in the tropics ; native 
of America. 
Under his n. 68, Mr. Hullett sent to Calcutta, in 1884, as Ipomcea coccinea, a 
mixture of two species, one of which is Quamoelit plmnicea, the other being Ipomcea 
triloba; as they are not noted as cultivated it seems possible that I. triloba may 
at least casually occur as an escape at Singapore. For the detection of this mixture, 
which had not been observed by the writer when arranging the Calcutta Con- 
volvulaceee in 1894 ( see Journ. As. Soc. Beng. LXIII. 2, 83 et seq.), we are indebted 
to Dr. H. Hallier. 
9. Ipomcea Pes-Caprjs, Roth Nov. Sp. 109. A glabrous extensive 
sand-binding creeper. Leaves orbicular or oblong, obtuse emarginate 
or 2-lobed ; 1 to 4 in. long and sometimes wider than long ; thick, fleshy, 
when dry distinctly nerved ; petiole 1 to 4 in. long. Floivers in 
axillary 1-3-flowered cymes ; peduncles 1 to 4 in. long ; bracts 
•2 in. long, lanceolate, deciduous ; pedicels -75 to l - 5 in. long. Sepals 
ovate, obtuse, glabrous, ’5 to -6 in. long, slightly enlarged in fruit. 
Corolla tubular-eampanulate, glabrous, 2 in. long, purple. Capsule 
ovoid, glabrous, -5 in. long. Seeds villous. Choisy Convolv. Or. 63, and
