»Climber of 6—20 feet. Flowers rich deep heliotrope. Damp shady 
Situation on tall grass and scrub. Side valleys of the Salwen, Salwen- 
Irrawaddi divide, from Shah-Pai-Lei-Ti north to Me-Ko-Ti. Lat. 26? 10° 
to nearly 279 N, Alt. 5— 7000 feet. Forms a distinct belt never above nor 
below those heights. N.-W. Yunnan, Nov. 1905.“ G. Forrest. No. 963. 
À beautiful species showing markedly the twining character in the 
flower-stalks as well as in the vegetative stem. Accessory flower-shoots 
are developed regularly and acropetally in the axils of the leaves. The 
first axillary shoot developed forms commonly an elongated cyme, ending 
in a flower and bearing three or four pair of leaves below, all or some 
only of which give rise to flowers. The accessory shoot may do likewise 
or form only a single terminal flower the peduncle of which shows only 
à pair, occasionally two pairs, of small leaflets at its base. Towards the 
termination of the vegetative twigs the elongated cymes may not deve- 
lope and the accessory buds may remain arrested. The length of the 
flower peduncle varies, a terminal flower of a cyme may have one several 
Inches long. The ovary has hardly any stipe, and as it enlarges it causes 
rupture of the calyx dimidiately along one side in the same fashion as 
Franchet describes it in C. Delavayi. From that species C. Trailliana is 
at once distinguished by its large flowers.
