The Australian specimens seem to have rather smaller flowers than the Indian ones. The 
species is readily distinguished from its nearest allies by the small calyx. — Benth.

Prostrate trailing or scarcely twining, pubescent villous or nearly glabrous, 
the branches rather slender but sometimes very long. Lower leaves broadly 
ovate-cordate and deeply and irregularly toothed or lobed, especially below 
the middle ; upper ones oblong or lanceolate, hastate or almost digitate 
with one long central lobe and several short lateral ones. Peduncles long and 
slender, bearing 1 or rarely 2 or 3 pink or purplish flowers, the pedicels as long as 
the calyx, the bracts minute. Sepals lanceolate or ovate-lanceolate, acute or 
rather obtuse, about 3 lines long. Corolla campanulate, f to nearly lin. long. 
Ovary 2-celled. Fruiting calyx slightly enlarged, the capsule globular and 
smooth. Seeds glabrous. — Chois, in DC. Prod. ix. 352 ; Convolrulus incisus ,

Leaves oblong to linear, obtuse or mucronate, entire, narrowed into a short 
petiole, mostly 1 to Sin. long. Peduncles shorter than the leaves, bearing usually 
a single white flower, the pedicel as long as or longer than the calyx, the bracts 
very minute. Sepals leafy, acute, the outer ones broad and shortly decurrent on 
the pedicel, 4- to fin. long, the inner ones smaller and narrower. Corolla 
campanulate, longer than the calyx, but rarely exceeding lin., more or less hairy 
outside. Ovary 2-celled. Capsule globular. Seeds glabrous puberulous or 
bordered by short hairs. — Aniseia uniflora, Chois. Conv. Or., and in DC. Prod,
