8 This is closely allied to C. I-Iaughani, but seems to be distinct 

 by the coloration of the grov'ths and the pointed capsule, i^'hen 

 going to rest and the colour of this species sometimes becomes very 

 vivid and brilliant. 



C. longum, N. E, Br. — Growths, as imr»o ted l-lf inch long, 5-7 

 lines broad and 4-6 lines thick, but since has become l^-Sii inches 

 lonff, 7-10 lines broad and 5-7 lines thick, slightly compressed- 

 cyllnd ic, tv;o-lobed at the apex, with the lobes pressed together, 

 rounded at theie apex and the cleft between them 2-^-8 lines deep 

 and extending right across them 2J--8 lines deep -cross the grovvth; 

 substsnce soft and pulpy, smooth, slightly velvety to the touch 

 from being covered with microscopic points; the top of the lobes is 

 pellucid end windov/-like , pale greenish and separated fromthe uniform- 

 ly light green body of the* growth by an indistinct band of yellowish- 

 green, and the whole sprinkled with large pellucid dots. Flowers and 

 fruit unknown.

The very elon a ted growths, velvet^/ surface and coloration dis- 

 tinguish this from all the other pellucid-topped species. 



C!. preesectum, K. E, Br. — '^Ovts forming small clumps, or 

 sometimes grov/in ■ singly, and as imported 8-14 lines long, 3^-8 

 lines broad and 2-5 lines thick, compressed cylindric or oblong in 

 side view, shortly 2-lobed and somewhat truncate at the top; lobes 

 l|-3^ lines long, pressed together, convexly truncate t the top, 

 their u'^rer part very distinctly windovz-like and semi-transparent in 

 side viev/ when held against the light; substance soft and pulpy; 

 surface smooth, and v/hen vievred with a strong lens against the 

 light seen to ve covered with microscopic points, scarcely pubescent 

 and scarcely velvety to the touch, green, with the upper part of 

 the sides often tinted with brown, and the v;indov.' part of the lobes 

 pallid, ^lowers seen only in a withered condition. Calyx usually 

 6 (sometimes 5)-lobed, green; tube 3-4 lines long; lobes 2 lines 

 long, 4 of them v/ith white membranous margins. Corolla apparently 

 about an inch in diameter; tuber 4-5 lines long; petals in 1-2 series, 

 5-5^- lin-^s long, l/3-|- line bro^d, cu.neately linear, obtuse or 

 slightly notched at the 8 vex, with a fev; inner ones that are shorter 

 and f iliform-lineer (T^erher^s staminodes). Stamens numerous, in 3-4 

 series in the throat of the corolla-tube, all exserted end the longer 

 exserted about 1 line from the tube; filaments and anthers yellow. 

 Style -i-4-| lines long and ner-rly or quite as long as the corolla- 

 tube, filiform; stigmas 5-6, filiform, i-l line long, Capsle l<i-2 

 lines in diameter when closed, pallid, slightly convex on the to:-, 

 with 5-6 valves baving their tips raised into a short, conical point 

 at the centre; valves almost transparent when expanded, pallid; ex- 

 pendlng-keels contiguous into a membranous stout central keel, och- 

 reous , Y/ith very broad cell-w^"ngs or placental tubercles, ^eeds 1/3 

 line long, sub-fflobose, without a pointy smooth, light brown.

This is allied to G. Friedrichiae, ^chwent., but usally forms 

 small clusters of grovrths inste-d of being solitary, the growths 

 also appear to be smaller, and the flowers are entirely different in 

 structure,
