An interesting addition to this tropical Old World genus, 
which finds its chief development in Africain the Upper Guinea 
District (Cameroons, Niger province, and Sierra Leone), with 
two species in Natal, but has only recently been discovered in 
East Tropical Africa, Dr. Pax having described two species from 
Western Usambara. It is to one of these last, C. major, that 
our species is most nearly allied; it differs in having smaller 
acuminate leaves, pedicelled flowers, and entire sepals.
