Erect, 1-2 feet, branches ascending. Leaves 2 by } in., thin, sparsely hispid on 
both surfaces with hairs often rising from tubercles ; radical leaves 0 at the time of 
flowering. Calyz-lobes 3, in. in fruit. Nutlets à, in., margined by the confluent 
bases of the glochidia, but not prominently, glochidia on the faces plentiful and not 
much shorter; carpophore sublinear.—H. f. & T. appear justified in regarding this 
plant as allied to C. micranthum, rather than to C. denticulatum. Both Benth. and 
DC. say that Wallich's C. glochidiatum eame from Nepal; but Wallich says he got 
it at Punduah, i.e. Khasia, where all other collectors get it. 
5. C. denticulatum, 4. DC. Prodr. x. 150; stem softly hairy or 
strigose, leaves ovate- or oblong-lanceolate some cauline petioled ciliate or den- 
ticulate, calyx-lobes ovate, outer faces of the nutlets shortly ovate prominently 
margined glochidiate sparingly on the faces. G. Don. Gen. Syst. iv. 354. C.

With hairs rising from tubercles. Carpophore sublinear.—The Central Indian examples 
have rather larger nutlets than the Himalayan C. denticulatum, and are intermediate 
between that and the Var. zeylanica. oo

Differs from C. denticulatum in the narrower calyx-lobes more elongate in fruit; 
ese are ovate-oblong in typical C. calycinum, linear-oblong in C. microcarpum, A. 
erner; and there is every state between.—Very abundant westward about Dal- 
ousie, when C. denticulatum becomes rare; but the two species are very difficult to 
istinguish, and may not be distinct.

This closely resembles C. denticulatum, var. zeylanica, and may be a form of it.
