Th though nearly allied to C. fascicularis, differs in the much more-slender pe- 
duncles, looser and more racemose panicle, and smaller, glabrous flowers. The 
Specimens seen are without leaves ; the leaf-scars are tubercular, closely spiral on 
nearly conical ends of a fleshy stem, an inch or more in diameter. Peduncles 2 feet 
high, 14-2 lines in diameter below, becoming very slender upwards ; branches of 
the panicle racemose, 4-6 inches long. Flowers 4 inch long. :

tube of the corolla 14 to twice as long as the calyx, rather longer than
