1. C. forbesianum (Klotzsch in Linnea, xii. 215); branchlets 
very minutely and ineonspicuously puberulous, greyish; leaves 
erectly imbricate, 11-23 lin. long, linear, obtuse, glabrous ; flowers 
axillary and terminal, 3-6 together, mostly aggregated at the ends of 
the branchlets, very shortly pedicellate; calyx (exeluding the long 
lobe) about 4 lin. long, shorter than the corolla-tube, glabrous ; lobes 
lanceolate or oblong, minutely ciliate; coro!la $-$ lin. long, cam- 
panulate or globose-campanulate, glabrous ; stamens 6-7 ; filaments 
connate up to and with the anthers nearly or quite as long as the 
1-1 lin. long subquadrate connate anthers, usually breaking off in 
irregular lengths in fruit; ovary glabrous, 1-celled; style very 
distinct but less than 1 lin. long; stigma peltate, flat or intruded, 
with a narrow erect cup-like margin above and a slightly prominent 
ring around the underside, glabrous ; fruit globose, irregularly trans- 
versely rugulose, glabrous; seeds 2. Salaxis hexandra, Klotzsch in

2. C. areolatum (N. E. Br.); branchlets erect or ascending, 
flexuose, puberulous, pale greyish ; leaves adpressed or erectly imbri- 
cate, 1-2 lin. long, linear, acute, glabrous ; flowers axillary, 1-2- 
together, sessile; calyx (excluding the long lobe) j—3 lm. long, 
shorter than the corolla-tube, broad and shallow, glabrous ; lobes 
broadly ovate or deltoid-ovate, acute, minutely ciliate ; corolla about 
% lin. long, cup-shaped or campanulate, glabrous; stamens 4-6; 
filaments about as long as or shorter than the oblong or subquadrate 
1 lin. long anthers, and connate up to and with them; anthers 
connate; ovary subglobose, usually minutely puberulous at the 
top, abruptly contracted into the short glabrous style, 1-celled ; 
stigma just exserted, cup-shaped, flat or intruded at the bottom, 
with erect sides; fruit ovoid, ellipsoid or more or Jess compressed, 
obtuse, the upper half more or less evidently divided into areas by 
several longitudinal elevated lines, which are usually minutely
