cirea 4-florus. Pedicelli 1-8 mm. long. Flores luteo-virides Ovarium 
1:2 mm. long., calycis limbus 0:5 mm. Corolla tota 3 mm. long.; tubus 
1:15 mm., lobi 1°85 mm. long., ille 2 mm. lat. Antherze 0:8 mm. long. 
Stylus 1 mm. long. ; stigma 0*4 x 0*6 mm. 
To be placed next C. glaucum, Hiern, the chief differences being the not 
glaucous leaves, the simple inflorescences, longer ovary, larger calyx-lobes, 
corolla with shorter tube and longer and relatively narrower lobes not obtuse 
at the end, larger anthers and shorter style.

Differs from C. gracile, Hiern, for which it might be mistaken on a first 
view, chiefly in the broader leaves, the smaller flowers with corollas hairy at 
the mouth itself instead of a short way down the tube, the smaller obtuse 
anthers, and the shorter style.
