Accra, Don. 
A small bulbous-rooted plant, probably allied to C. linearis, 
E. Mey, which is unknown to me. The tube of the corolla 
is about an inch long, the lobes rather shorter. I have been 
unable to dissect the single flower which the specimen bears, so 
as to give a more accurate character. 
Another species, C, aristolochioides, Dene., is found in Se- 
nega].
