Lankawi (C. Curtis, v.v.). 
A very curious little plant, with a readily branching stem, 
polished dark green leaves, with the nerves all impressed so as 
to give them a reticulate appearance, and numerous short 
peduncles, bearing very short panicles of very small snow-white 
flowers with a very short tube and perfectly regular limb; all 
the lobes being equal in length and rounded at the apex. I can 
refer it to no section. 
Crurita, Buch.-Ham. 
It is by no means easy to separate this genus from Didy- 
mocarpus except by the (often obscurely) lobed style. The 
species included, like those of the genus Bwa, are almost all 
natives of limestone rocks. 
C. canicinosa, CO. B. Clarke, in DC. Monog. Phan., v. p. 122. 
Selangor, on the limestone rocks at Kwala Lumpur ; Beccari’s 
locality is said to be Klang, but from the nature of that 
country it is probable that this is an error, especially as some 
other plants which grow with this plant (e.g., § Monophylleua) 
are also recorded from Klang. The flowers are of a beautiful 
azure blue.
