'^rov'ths distinctly obcordate, with or without a slight ridge 

 or keel extending from the orifice to the top of the convex lo- 

 bule on each side of it, and often v;ith the slopes of the notch 

 on each side of the ridge more or less flattened. (I'ypes C_Q) . 

 Species 45-49. 



The six species comprising f is small group are very similar 

 in arpeerence and- very difficult to discriminate by characters 

 that can be set down in vfords, yet when seen grovlng side by 

 side, can easily be distinguished, '^ey all expand their flov/ers 

 in the eveninp-, or late in the afternoon, and the flowers of all 

 the species are very pleasantly scented, sometbing like C;}.oves, 

 and of some shade of pink, except those of G. placitum, v/hich 

 var:;" from white to t)ink. The stamens (except in ^. placitum) 

 are numerous (30 or more) and v.-hitish, with the upper series of 

 anthers visible at the mouth of the corolla-tube. But the size, 

 shape, and p:eneral character of the flower of each species seems 

 to be constantly different from, th^ t of the other species, ^o 

 th^t in t^.e f~lloi"ing descriptions none of the above general 

 characters ^ re mentioned. 



45. C. ficiforme, M. 3. Frown (i^ig. 26). Gr-ov/ths 6f-12 

 lines Ion?, 5-9 lines broad, and 4|--7f- lines thick, without or 

 vdth onl^T" a faint ridge on the faces of the notch, which is not 

 so deep as in the other species (type 0.), light greyish green or 

 somewhat glaucous-p-reen, sometimes tinted with purple on the 

 brs^l part, end thickly covered on the top v/ith moderately large 

 dprk green consi^icuous dots, all separate or a fev; of them more 

 or less confluent into a short line, extending from the centre 



of the orifice on each side over the top, and e confluent line 

 of them around the orifice, '^sljx 4-lobed; tube much exserted. 

 Corolla 10-12 lines in diam.eter; tube at first not longer then

 ies, the outer finall'r recurved, the others widely spreading, 

 wbite for about one-fourth of their length at the base, the upper

 anthers of the urper series just exserted. -'tyle and stimas
