This is really hardly distinct specifically from C. aloifolium, Sw. 

 of India to which species I reduced it in Journ. Linn. Roc. XXXII. 

 333, but is a much finer plant.

There arc intermediate form between this and C. Flnlayson- 

 ■iannm, which are possibly hyl)rids, but [ am more inclined to think 

 this plant is only an extreme form of the preceding one, C. pendulum, 

 Sw. King Annals Boy, Bot, Gard, Calc, 25L seems to be one of these 

 intermediate forms. King gives it as collected in Perak bv Wrav 

 No. 3738.
