Folia 1-1^ lin. longa, ^-f lin. lata, brevissime petiolata, margine dorsoque

This comes near C. Zeschenaulfii, which however differs in 

 having scabrid leaves, cariuate bractcolae, only 8-13 stamens, &c

Closely allied to C. luteola, Schaiier (in PI. Preiss. i. p. 106), 

 and perhaps a mere variety of it, differing in longer leaves, keeled 

 bracteolae, &c.
