This and the two preceding species belong to a numerous group often con- 
founded in herbaria under the name of Varronia curassavica, and comprised in De 
Candolle’s Myxze@ spiceformes; they are often very difficult to distinguish, and 
probably several of the published ones are but varieties of each other; the C. 
hispida now described appears, however, to differ from them all in the long stiff 
hairs with which it is covered. In other respects it comes nearest to C. 
Peppigit. :
