terminal; peduncles 1}-4} in, long, sometimes paired on a common 
peduncle; rhachis at first very short, then lengthening, ultimately up 
to 1} in. long, bearing the persistent, somewhat distant bracts and 
scars of the fallen flowers; bracts ovate, acute, up to 14 lin. long to 
pedicels slender, up to 6 lin. long. Sepals unequal, oblong, obtuse, 4-9 
lin, long. Corolla-tube slightly over 1 in. long, cylindric up to 6—7 lin. 
from the base, then subcylindric or very slightly and gradually widened 
towards the mouth, here 2-3 lin. in diam. ; lobes obliquely obovate and 
acuminate, cuneate below, up to 14 in. long, almost 1 in. broad. 
Stamens inserted 7-8 lin. from the base; anthers 2 lin. long. Style 
6-7 lin. long; stigma shortly cylindric, bifid, with a wavy, lobed ring 
at the base.

Very siniilar to C. inequalis, from which it differs only in the more attenuate or 
even acute (never cordate) leaf-bases, in the larger calyx and the corolla-lobes, 
being comparatively longer and more narrowed towards the base. 
3. C. inzequalis, Stapf. A glabrous, scandent shrub; branches 
slender, greenish, terete. Leaves subsessile, oblong-elliptic to obovate- 
oblong or oblong, abruptly and acutely acuminate, rounded or sub- 
cordate at the base, 5-8 in. long, 14-3} in, broad, papery ; midrib 
slender; secondary nerves 7—9 on each side ; veins distinct or obscure, 
forming a loose network ; petiole hardly any or up to 2 lin. long, 
stout. Inflorescences 2—7-flowered (often with only 1 flower out at a 
time), racemiform on very slender pseudo-axillary peduncles 2-0 
in. long; rhachis at first very short, then lengthening to 4 in. long, 
covered with the persistent bracts and scars of the fallen flowers; 
bracts very broad, ovate, 3—} lin. long, margins scarious ; pedicels 
slender, up to 6 lin. leng, bracteolate at the very base. Sepals 
unequal, ovate, obtuse, 14-24 lin. long. Corolla-tube 1—1} in. long, 
cylindric to 7-8 lin. above the base, then gradually widened towards 
the mouth; lobes very broad, obliquely obovate and acuminate, 1 mr 
long and almost as broad. Stamens inserted 6-7 lin. above the base; 
anthers 2 to scarcely 2} lin. long; style about 6-7 lin. long; stigm 
subulate, papillose, bifid, with a lobed wavy ring at the base.—

4. C. subsessilis, Stapf. A climbing or erect shrub, or small 
tree, quite glabrous; branches slender, terete or quadrangular when 
quite young, pale green, ultimately whitish. Leaves oblong to lance? 
late, acuminate (acumen slender and. acute), narrowed towards an 
generally suddenly contracted at the base, 3-7 in. long, 1-2} in. ier 
membranous or papery ; secondary nerves about 8 on each side ; petio’e 
very short or 0. Inflorescences few-flowered or reduced to 1 flower; 
peduncle rather slender, 1}—4 in. long; bracts ovate-acute, 1—2 lin. long ; 
pedicels 2-6 lin. long. Calyx 3-5 lin. long ; sepals oblong, obtuse or
