VENEZUELA. Near Colonia Tovar, Fendler, 2031. 
Hanstein in Linnaea, vol. xxxiv. p. 104, included under C. scandens, 
Linn., a specimen in the Berlin herberium collected at Puerto 
Cabello, Venezuela, by Karsten. According to Urban, Symbolae 
Antillanae, vol. ii. p. 360, Karsten’s specimen represents a distinct 
species or variety. Hanstein stated~ that the calyx segments 
were more evidently toothed than in typical C. scandens, and Urban 
mentions that the corolla is long-attenuate below. It is therefore 
probable that Karsten’s co is rege to C. Fendleri.
