The shape of the leaves distinguishes this species sufficiently 

 from Cr. colunmaris, Thunb. The differences in floral structure, 

 though unmistakable, are slight. 



Cotifh'don Bohtsii, Schonl. n. sp. Whole plant glabrous (except 

 the throat of the corolla) ; stem elongated, upright, leafy, 10-12 

 cm. long, upper internodes very short and leaves consequently 

 rosulate at tlie apex of the stem : leaves spathulate, rotundate or 

 pointed at the apex, sometimes considerablj' broadened at the 

 base, 2^-1 cm. long, •(S-2 cm. broad in the vipper portion : pedun- 

 cle terminal, simple, about 12 cm. long, pi-ovided with a few 

 minute acuminate sterile bracts, i^aceme simple, terminal, 5'5 cm. 

 long, bracts none or deciduous (?) ; flowers erecto-patent, pedicels 

 6-7 mm. long, tube of calyx very short, lobes ovato-acuminate 

 c. 3 mm. long, corolla sul)cylindrical,with five longitudinal furrows,

This very distinct species belonging to the sect. " Spicatae '" is 

 only known from one flowering specimen and a leafy stem with only 

 a portion of the peduncle, both in the Herbarium of Dr. H. 

 Bolus, F.L.S. The flowers are not opened yet, and the above 

 description will therefore have to be supplemented when fully 

 developed flowers are known. 



The elongated stem and the comparatively large corolla lobes 

 distinguish it from allied species. I only noticed lately that in 

 C. rhoniljifoJia, Haw, C. niainmilaris, L. and in C. maritlata, Salm- 

 Dyck the anthers are also minutely apiculate. This character 

 should 1)e looked for also in the other allied species. 



Cdtyledoi JIarlothii, Scluinl. n. sp. A verj' distinct new 

 species of the section " Spicatae " with oblong leaves which are 

 almost or quite circular in transverse section.
