 C. KuRzir, Bak. Pegu Eangc and Martaban, var. /i ranges up to 5000 feet. 



Almost glabrous. Leaves acute. Eacemes terminating axillary branchlets or 

 reduced to axillary flower-clusters. 



var. a genuina. Leaves longer and of a thinner texture. Flowers usually axillary 

 and gradually passing into terminal or axillary racemes with all intermediate con- 

 ditions on the same plant. Pods an inch long. Low-level form. 



var. ft montana. Loaves of a firmer texture and half the size. Flowers in 

 true leafless elongate axillary and terminal racemes. Pods only i an inch long. 

 High-level form. 



A A Branches herbaceous, fistulose, stout. 



C. AssAMicA, Bth. Ehakyen Hills. Ava. 



Calyx and underside of the blunt or acute leaves densely appressed silky. 

 Eacemes all terminal. In Ava specimens the ilowers sometimes grow indifferently 

 in the place of the leaves from the leaf-branches, so that the flowers are either mixed 

 up with the leaves (reduced flowering branchlets) or form incomplete racemes below 

 the leafy summit. The species itself, however, may be nothing but a moi-e pubescent 

 hill-form of C. retusa.
