Tins is close to C, parvi/oUnm Schlecbter, a species of which I have seen 

 only material with flowers in very early bud. The leaves of Mr, Compton's 

 plant are relatively longer and narrower than tliose of the otlier and ferru- 

 gineous when very young, its flowers are always borne on the stem after the 

 leaves have fallen, the pedicels are shorter and the calyx is broader, this 

 indicating a difference in the expanded flowers.
