We have not seen specimens agreeing with the var. 6 of Persoon and De 
Candolle, characterised by having acuminated leaves, and do not know whe- 
ther or not it be a distinct species : probably C. angulosa of Roxburgh may 
belong to it, but although enumerated in the hort. Benghalensis, it is not no- 
ticed in Wallich’s List 3 we scarcely understand whether it is the base, or the 
ves themselves, that is said to be much attenuated in the fl. Indica. 
579. (29) C. Wallichiana (W. & A.:) herbaceous, erect, much branched, 
young branches irregularly and rather bluntly angled, with the racemes and 
under side of the leaves densely pubescent : stipules lunate, transverse, re- 
curved: leaves oval, glabrous above, marked beneath with rather prominent 
nerves : racemes terminal and leaf-opposed, many-flowered: bracteas subu- 
late, reflexed, small : pedicels elongated, longer than the calyx: bracteoles 
very minute, setaceous, about the middle of the pedicel: calyx smaller than 
the corolla, densely pubescent ; legume clavate-oblong, stalked, softly pubes- 
cent, many-seeded.— Wight! cat. n. 696.— Neelgherries. 
` 580. (30) C. semperflorens ( Vent. :) somewhat shrubby, erect, branched, 
branches terete or irregularly and = bluntly angled, with the racemes 
and under side of the leaves densely pubescent: stipules lunate, transverse, 
ed: leaves oval; upper side when young pubescent, afterwards gla~ 
brous; under with the nerves prominent and villous: racemes terminal and
