Endemic. 
I have followed Petch in considering this and C. lutea distinct from 
C. Beckettii, of which I suspect they are only colour varieties.

5a. C. SPIRALIS Fisch. 
This species was originally described by Retzius from a specimen 
collected at Tranquebar by Koenig. I suspect that Trimen was mis- 
taken in giving Ceylon as the locality of Koenig’s specimen. 
Arum spirale is said by Mrs. Walker, Journ. Bot. II, p. 229, to have 
been frequent on the banks of the Genderah river at Hiniduma in 
January, 1837, but I suspect that C. Walkeri (which was called C. 
spiralis by Thwaites) was intended.
