Possibly a young branch of C. Currori, but in that plant I ` 
find no trace of an alate stem ; the panicle is different, as are 
the toothed lobes of the leaves. The raphides are in both so 
conspieuous as to cause a projection of the cuticle over the 
erystals, and give the semblance to the whole plant of being 
pubescent.
