We consider the flow-equations for the 3 slow-roll parameters n_S (scalar spectral index), r (tensor to scalar ratio), and dn_S/dlnk (running of the spectral index). We show that the combination of these flow-equations with the observational bounds from cosmic microwave background and large scale structure allows one to put a lower bound on the fourth derivative of the inflationary potential, M_P^4(V''''/V) > -0.02.
