15. Caltcotheix tenuifolia, nob., glaberrima, ramulis laevibus, foliis semi- 

 pollice brevioribus acute triquetro-filiformibus obtusis muticis demum 

 semipatulis, floribus infra apicem ramulorum axillaribus subsessilibus 

 20-andris, bracteolis scariosis oblongis cuspidatis vix basi connatis sub- 

 carinatis, calycis tubo braeteolas demum parum superante angulato, lobis 

 subrotundis acuminatis, aristis petala (rosea) dimidio superantibus. 



Sab. cum prsecedente. Drumm. coll. 6. n. 57 ! 



Folia 3-4 lin. longa, f lin. lata, recta, sessilia, opposita et sparsa. Flores in 



spicam circ. pollicarem foliosam comatam congesti, calycis tubo 3-4 lin. 



longo, setis 5-6 lin. longis. Petala lanceolato-oblonga, glabra, staminibus 



subdupld longiora. 



Approaching C. glutinosa, Lindl., which differs by 10-androus 

 flowers, &c, and C. tenuiramea, Turcz., which differs in having no 

 stipules, pointed leaves, connate and ecarinate bracteoles and cilio- 

 late arista?. 



16. Caltcotheix eosea, nob., glaberrima, ramulis dense cicatrisato-tubercu- 

 latis, foliis imbricatis semipollicaribus triquetro-linearibus acutiusculis 

 muticis dorso obtusis, floribus infra apicem ramulorum paucis axillaribus 

 subsessilibus folia vix superantibus, bracteolis scariosis vix basi connatis 

 oblongis attenuato-acutis subcarinatis, calycis tubo braeteolas subdimidio 

 superante angulato, lobis emarginato-subrotundis, aristis petala (rosea) vix 

 dimidio superantibus. 



Hab. cum prsecedente. Drumm. coll. 6. n. 56 ! 



Folia 5-7 lin. longa, \ lin. lata. Spicse breves, capitulum comatum menti- 



entes. Stamina 20 v. plura, petalis ovato- oblongis acutis glabris sanguineo- 



roseis dimidio breviora. 



Very near the preceding species, but easily distinguished by the 

 larger, blunter, adpressed leaves, &c. 



17. Caltcotheix lasiantha, nob., foliis nanis triquetro-linearibus obtusis 

 muticis semipatulis ramisque lsevibus puberulis demum glabratis, racemis 

 terminalibus multifloris, bracteoUs cum pedicello brevissimo folium sub- 

 sequantibus basi connatis ovali-oblongis acutis medio puberulis apice sub- 

 carinatis divergentibus, calycis tubo bracteolis tripld longiore puberulo 

 inferne angulato, lobis ovatis setaceo- acuminatis plumoso-pilosiusculis 

 corolla (rosea v. lilacina ?) extus puberula parum brevioribus. 



Hab. cum prsecedente. Drumm. coll. 6. n. 53 ! 



Folia opposita et sparsa, 1-2-2 lin. longa, £ lin. lata, stipulis exiguis caducis. 



Calycis tubus 4-5 lin. longus, tenuis, eglandulosus. Petala 3 lin. longa, 



oblonga, acuta, eglandulosa. Stamina 20 v. plura. 



A very pretty species, resembling certain Trernandrce, and allied 

 to C. breviseta, Lindl. and C. strigosa, Cunn., but quite distinct. 



18. Caltcotheix beevifolia, nob., glaberrima, foliis nanis triquetro- 

 oblongis obtusis submuticis, floribus infra ramorum apicem paucis axilla-
