Leaves 3-5 in., punctulate on both surfaces; petiole |- in. Calyx with a ring of 

 hairs at its base within but not densely filled with long hair. Fruit 1 in. and nearly 

 as broad, brown, nearly glabrous. — This species so exactly coincides with C extmsum 

 in its flowers and fruits that it may be Joubted whether it is specifically distinct. 

 The leaves appear smaller and thinner, and the dense heads of flowers at the ends of 

 the branches of a large panicle give it a very diflferent aspect.
