A hispid annual with small flowers in lax 3-19-flowered racemes, and egg-

The plant referred here from Mkesse River, Dr. Stuhlmann No. 114, is 
doubtful; the carina is much more rounded on the back than in the type. 
C. boranica, Harms, is allied. 
A plant was collected by C. F. H. Moore No. 1047, at Victoria, Rhodesia, 
which is very closely allied.
