Judging from the description evidc^ntly close to C. acutivahis, F. Muell. ; 

 differing from it chiefly in the 14-15.toothed nodes with considerably 

 shorter and rigid teeth, the smaller cones, and the oblongo-obovate acute 

 wing to the seeds, this suggesting diversity in the sliape of the bracteoles 

 tliough the point does not emerge in Mueller's de.^cription.
