Infiorescentia 7'5 X 4 cm. Bractese lineares, ±3 mm. long.

The affinity of both the above is with C. Barteri Baker, but 

 probably still more close with C. Bequaertl de Wild. From this 

 latter both are separated b}^ the not denticulate-runcinate leaves, the 

 longer calyx and corolla, glabrous outside, and with broader lobes. As 

 between themselves the chief points of distinction are the inflorescence, 

 the cymes mixed with floral leaves in the one case and without them 

 in the other, and the longer and broader calyx of C. liqjalvense. To 

 judge from the description in Fedde, Rep. xiii. 144, the inflorescence 

 of 0. Bequaerti is that of C. lupakense.
