Branches elongate, stout, tetragonous, glabrous. Leaves 5} by 2} in., undulate ; 
petiole bardly 4 in. Panicle 7 by 3 in., many-fld.; bracts at the main division 1 by 
i in. glabrous, foliaceous, otherwise very hairy. Sepals linear-oblong. Corolla 
1 in., upper half ventricose, hairy, violet (Lobb); segments ovate, suberect. Anthers 
ncluded. Capsule 14 by } in., very hairy, 16-seeded. Seeds lenticular, densely

2. C. cymosus, T. Anders. in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 458; leaves elliptic

Burma; Brandis. . 
A shrub; branches puberulous, internodes short. Leaves 3—4 by $-1$ in. acute 
at both ends, softly silky beneath ; petiole 1 in. Cymes viscous-hairy ; pedicels 4 in. 
Sepals $ in., linear-oblong, very hairy. Corolla li in., inflated upwards, viscous; 
lobes small, subequal. Capsule 14 by } in., tomentose.— Mostly copied from T 
Anderson, the Kew example being imperfect; but it is sufficient to show that the 
species is congenerie with C. paniculatus, which Bentham (Gen. Pl. ii. 1095) 
oubts.
