C. Braunii is widely distributed, occurring in many parts of Asia (Siberia, 
Syria, Java, Tonquin, China, Japan, Philippine I.); over a large part of 
Europe, in N. and S. Africa, N. and S. America, Australia, New Zealand,

4. C. ERYTHROGYNA Griffith. C. Griffith Braun. 
6. Between Kissongunga and Sitalya, 1868, no. 1884. 8. Kurz. 
Chitowni, near Nepal frontier, Dharbanga Dist., 1907, no. 29320. 
I. H. Burkill. 
Described by Griffith from Serampore, and recorded by Braun from 
Saharanpore Botanic Garden ; also found in Cochin China and Java. 
Braun’s action in setting aside the name published by Griffith, with a very 
fair description, in favour of a MS. name of his own, seems indefensible. 
5. C. FLACCIDA Braun. 
3, or 5. Bhainsi, Nizam’s Dom., 1905. 7. H. Burkill. 
11. I. of Langkari. C. Curtis. 
Bottom of Lake Dayong Bonting, 1890, Fl. of Kedah no. 2587. 
C. Curtis. A form with unusually short stipulodes. 
Recorded by Braun from (5) Madras and (6?) Lower Bengal. The 
golden-brown ripe oospores aflord the only character that I know of to 
distinguish this from the next species, and in many specimens which have 
passed through our hands the fruits were immature. It is therefore probably 
much more widely distributed in India than the above localities imply. 
Outside India C. flaccida has been collected in the Libyan Desert, Ceylon, 
Tonkin, Borneo, Celebes, and the Philippine and Marianne Islands.
