exposing the anthers. 2. The C. tubulosa, var. Hookeri 
(C. tubulosa, and CO. Hookeri, Dene.) ; erect, with long blue 
chiefly axillary flowers and perianth-lobes revolute from far 
above the middle. 3. C. stans, 8. and Z. (C. stans, and 
Kousabotan, Dene.) ; erect, with terminal racemes of much 
smaller paler blue flowers in whorl-like fascicles—this 
closely resembles a drawing of the original specimen of 
C. heracleefolia in the British Museum, made by Mr. 
Forbes and shown me by Mr. Hemsley. 4. C. Lavallet, 
Dene.; erect, with flowers in loose spreading terminal 
almost leafless panicles, hardly at all whorled. 5. C. 
Savatieri, Dene.; climbing, with much stouter stems, 
peduncles and pedicels, and panicled. flowers not in whorls. 
Referring to the Herbarium, I think that these types are 
recognizable, but united by varieties that render it impos- 
sible to regard them as distinct species. : 
Our figure of C. stans is taken from a plant so named by 
M. Decaisne, and sent to Kew by the late lamented Mr. 
Lavallée; it flowered in the end of September in the open 
border.—J. D. H.
