or rather oblong, obtuse, or subcordate at the base, acute, or 
acuminated at apex, very much wrinkled, scabrous above, and 
hairy along the midrib, but clothed with soft hairs or pubescence 
beneath, having the margins reflexed and unequally subsinuated ;

3 main branches; branches 2-3 times forked ; spikes dense- 
flowered ; calyx tubular, obconical, 10-striped ; corolla salver- 
shaped: tube length of calyx: limb 5-cleft: divisions narrow, 
elliptic, obtuse, one-half as long as the tube. h.S. Native of 
tropical Brazil, Sello. C. grandis, Cham. et Schlecht in Linnza, 
4. p. 473, but not of Roxb. Branches terete, but clothed with 
fuscescent hairs, and rather angular and striated while young.

67 C. rouENTOsA (Cham. et Schlecht. in Linnea, 4. p 472.) 
leaves ovate, or elliptic, to ovate and obovate, rarely oblong, 
acuminated, acute, usually acute at the base, and drawn out 
a little into the petioles, rarely obtuse, generally unequal, clothed 
beneath with dirty, canescent, adpressed tomentum, as well as 
the young shoots, inflorescence, and calyxes, but beset with a 
few starry hairs on the upper surface; calyx 4 lines long; 
limb of corolla 5-cleft: segments rounded at top; stamens 
about a third part shorter than the segments of the corolla. 
hk. S. Native of the South of Brazil, Sello. This species 
is said to differ from C. Cerdàna, in the larger flowers, in the 
stamens being shorter than the corolla, in the hairs being stel- 
late and much more crowded, in the leaves being broader and 
shorter, &c. There is also a variety of this with narrower 
leaves. 
Tomentose Cordia. Tree. 
68 C. insienis (Cham. in Linnea, 8. p. 122.) leaves elliptic 
and obovate, acuminated, glabrous above, clothed with simple 
fuscous tomentum beneath, on short petioles; panicles terminal, 
sub-fastigiate, tomentose; calyx nearly sessile, cylindrical, 
deeply 10-furrowed, nearly an inch long: teeth unequal; 
corolla funnel-shaped, with a 5-cleft limb, and rounded, obtuse 
segments; stamens inclosed in the throat. h. S. Native 
of Brazil, in the province of Minas Geraes, Lhotzky and Sello. 
Branches irregularly many-angled, smoothish ; angles obtuse ; 
bark separating. Largest leaves 74 inches long, and 31 broad. 
Inflorescence somewhat cymose, smaller and denser than in 
C. Gerascánthus, hardly exceeding the leaves. Calyx clothed 
with velvety tomentum both inside and outside. Corolla with a 
short tube and wide limb. Stamens villous at the base. Ova- 
rium obpyramidal, with a flattish top.

dots above, scabrous beneath, veiny ; calyx furrowed, truncate ; 
corolla sub-rotate, wide; flowers polygamous. h.S. Native 
of South America, at St. Martha.

cence capitate ; calyxes clothed with simple tomentum; tube of 
corolla twice as long as the calyx; limb funnel-shaped, 5-lobed : 
lobes dilated, short, somewhat emarginate ; stamens short, in- 
closed in the throat. h. S. Native of South America. Leaves 
4 inches long, and 13 broad. Heads of flowers dense, globose, 
size of a walnut. Diameter of the limb of the corolla 9 lines. 
Perhaps only a variety of C. Gerascánthus.

72 C. Cusazr'nsis (Manso et Lhotzky, fl. matto-grosso 
cujab. 2. no. 13.) leaves larger than those of C. Gerascanthus, 
Jacq. ; elliptic-lanceolate, acuminated, acute at both ends, 
clothed with stellate down or tomentum beneath, and rather 
scabrous above; inflorescence, flowers, and the rest, as in C. 
Gerascánthus, Jacq.; of which it is perhaps only a mere variety.

Cujabo Cordia. Tree or shrub. 
73 C. CnawissoxiA'NA ; leaves petiolate, large, broad-ovate, 
acute, rather wrinkled, scabrous above, and hairy beneath;

rather reflexed segments; stamens exserted, inserted in the 
throat of the corolla, which is villous. ^. S. Native of 
Brazil, Sello. C. latifélia, Cham. in Linnea, 8. p. 126, but not
