This agrees in many respects with Don's description of C. 
micranthum from the same country ; but he describes the flower 
spikes as simple and axillary ; and if the Senegal plant referred 
to Don’s species in the Flora Senegambiz be really his, it is 
very different from ours in the petals and other details of the 
flower.
