stylo gracili filamenta æquante; ovario depresso-globoso, ovulis in loculo 3; 
capsula valde emarginata angulata. 
Hab. Chirinda Forest, 3700-4000 ft. ; in fl. & fr. Apr., May ; nn. 318, 527. 
A small plant with ‘white petals and yellow anthers, common in the 
forest. 
Folia seepe 12-15 em. long., interdum ad 23 em., lamina petiolum cum 
vagina subequante, sepius 1°4—1°5 cm. lat. Всариѕ 20-40 em. long. 
Bractea sterilis in parte scapi inferiore lineari-acuminata 1:5-3 em. long. ; 
bractez florentes 2—0°5 ет. long. — Perianthii segmenta 1 mm. lat., exteriora 
5 mm., interiora vix 6 mm. long.; antherz 1:5 mm. long.; ovarium 1:25 mm. 
long. Capsule valvis 0*5 em. long. 
The form of the leaf recalls the West African C. alisnuefolium, Baker, but 
the petiole is not sharply separated from tlie blade, and the species is probably 
nearer C. laxum, В. Br., though at once distinguished by its broader 
lanceolate leaves.

Hab. Madanda forests at about 400 ft.; in fl. Dec.; n. 772. А herb 
with white flowers. 
Folia (petiolo incluso) ad 5 dm. long. et 9 mm. lat., petiolum 1—8 totius
