Stem 1-5 ft, often as thick as the wrist, unbranched. Scales j-lin. Spike 
6—10 in., sometimes 3 in. diam.; bracts lanceolate, longer than the calyx, bracteoles 
narrower and shorter, linear. Calyx à-3 in. long. Corolla 1-1} in., yellow, much 
incurved, base slender, tube inflated ; mouth 3-14 in. diam.; lobes short. | Anthers 
subexserted, tip rounded or obscurely apiculate. Placentas 4, subequidistant.—l 
doubt this being specifically different from the common C. lutea, which extends to 
Spain and Morocco, for I find an obscure mucro on some of the anthers. 
Var. tomentosa ; stem above bracts and calyx sparsely woolly.— Lahore, Thomson.
