those of the Tengueh species which its discoverer and 
Mr. W. W. Smith have named (. 7, railliana, but the 
calyx-teeth are narrowly linear above the base and the 
blossoms are aggregated in cymes of about four flowers, 
borne on peduncles as short as those of the Khasian 
C. brevipes ; the flowers, however, develop very unequally 
and there is probably, as in (. Trailliana, only one open 
at a given time. Examples of this Szemao plant from 
rather higher elevations have, however, peduncles with 
solitary flowers, and it is not impossible that it may 
eventually prove to be a form of C. Trailliana. The plant 
from which our figure was prepared was obtained for 
the Kew collection in 1915 from Messrs. R. Wallace 
and Company, Colchester, by whom it had been raised 
from seed collected by Mr. Forrest for Mr. J.C. Williams, 
Caerhays Castle, Cornwall. It flowered in June in a 
greenhouse, and is evidently too tender to thrive out 
of doors in Britain. I¢ survived at Kew after flowering, 
but failed to mature seeds, : : 
Description.—Herb, perennial; stem short, creeping, densely rusty-hirsute. 
Leaves all radical; lamina broadly ovate, obtuse or somewhat acute, base 
nearly equally or obliquely rounded or cordate, margin bluntly crenate, 5-8 in. 
long, up to 6 in. wide, densely hirsute above, beneath rather laxly clothed with 
hairs, which near the purplish or purple blotched margin are spreading, but 
elsewhere are somewhat appressed ; petiole 
reddish hairs. Peduncles erect, from among the leaves, up to 5 in. long, 
rather stout, hirsute with reddish hairs, with herbaceous apical bracts and 
bearing a reduced few-flowered cyme, the individual flowers opening in 
succession and not simultaneously ; pedicel 3 in. long. Calyx ovoid, divided 
for more than one-third its length 
lobes, over $ in. long, hirsute with reddish hairs. Corolla more or less 
uniformly pubescent outside; tube nearly 2 in. long, wide cylindric for 
white villous anthers ; staminodes with white woolly filaments. Disk crenulate. 
oor and style pubescent; Stigma unequally 2-lobed. Capsule linear, over 
} in. long.
