I do not perceive any specific difference between authentic specimens named by Klotzsch 

 as above. 



18. C. chilocalyXj Oliv. An erect, slender, glabrous annual, 1-2 ft. 

 high. Leaves 3-foliolate, chiefly from the lower part of the stem, on rather 

 long, slender petioles, usually exceeding the lanceolate or linear-lanceolate, 

 acute or acuminate, minutely setose-serrulate, subsessile leaflets. Racemes 

 at length elongate, lax. Bracts minute, subulate. Pedicels very short, 

 patent, 1-3 lines long. Sepals linear-subulate, unequal. Petals linear- 

 spathulate, about \ in. long in our specimens. Stamens 10-12. Capsules 

 spreading, narrow-linear, elongate, 3-4 in. long, glabrous, longitudinally 

 fM-nerved, on a gynophore of £-f in. Seeds globose, reniform, transversely 

 rugose, with intermediate longitudinal striae. — CMlocalyx macrophyllus, Kl. 

 in Peters' Mossamb. Bot. 155.
