TRAVANCORE; Anamallay hills, alt. 2500 ft., Beddome. 
Stem slender, glabrous. Leaves very variable, 23-6 by 14-2 in., membranous, 
sometimes linear-oblong; petiole 2-13 in. Peduncles slender, 1-2 in., glabrous or 
sparsely hairy; pedicels slender, 3-14 in. Sepals 4.  Corolla-base obliquely inflated,

30. C. Stocksii, Hook. f.; leaves ovate or ovate-cordate acuminate 
puberulous on both surfaces, peduncles 3—c -fld. hispid, sepals filiform ; corolla

The Concan, Stocks. . 
An extensive climber. Leaves 2-5 by 1-2 in. membranous; petiole 3-1 in. 
Peduncle stout, 1-13 in.; pedicels very short, hispid. Sepals }-4 in. Corolla large. 
—This closely resembles C. oculata, differing in the long linear corolla-lobes. It may 
be a form of that plant; if so, the corolla affords a most treacherous character. 
B. Corolla-tube narrow, subcylindric above.

petioled elliptic-lanceolate acuminate, peduncles short pubescent many-fid.,

linear glabrous cohering from above the middle, coronal lobes ovate-lanceo- 
late villous, processes straight linear. Dene. in DC. Prodr. viii. 642.
