Type: Type: Cultivated source. England ex W. Indies, Andrews, Bot. Rep. 8. t. 504. 1808.

The drawings and paintings of H. C. Andrews were based on living specimens. According to Stephen & Cowan (Taxonomic Literature ed. 2.1: 49: 1976) no herbarium specimens are known to exist, hence the illustration (l.c.) is accepted here as the type.

Distribution: Distribution: A native of Brazil, naturalised elsewhere.
Comment/Acknowledgements: The ‘Potato creeper’, according to Parker (l.c.) does well in the lower hills of the sub-himalayan tract, rather than the plains.
