Messrs. Veitch and Son, Exeter and Chelsea, who received it 
from Assam, through their collector Thomas Lobb), yet the 
leaves and flowers are twice as large as Roxburgh’s drawing 
in the collection of the E. I. C.; and the calyx in that drawing 
is represented as quite truncated and entire; and even Wight 
and Arnott do not notice the very peculiar calyx-limb, each lobe. 
being deeply divided into two, three, or more clavate or glan- 
dular segments, as described by Roxburgh, and by Wight and 
Arnott in the calyx of C. Wightiana, which latter however has 
quite diminutive leaves and flowers, as compared with our plant ; 
but it is not otherwise different. 
Descr. A small shrub, with glabrous dichotomous dranches, 
and opposite, ovate, acuminate, entire, spreading, remote, almost 
sessile, submembranaceous /eaves. Stipules subulate. Flowers 
solitary or in pairs at the extremity of the branches, large (in our 
plant), white. Bracteas two, at the base of each flower, subu- 
late. Calyx, with the tube turbinate, downy ; the limb short, of 
five laciniated lobes, with their segments clavated, unequal. Co- 
rolla hypocrateriform: the ¢wbe slender: the limé of five, obo- 
vate, spreading lobes. Anthers linear, sessile, attached by the 
back, a little below the acuminated apex, to the mouth of the 
corolla, the points only visible above the tube. Ovary fleshy, 
two-celled ; sty/e included. Stigma large, bipartite.
