Vidi specimina viva spontanea numerosa. 
There are several described plants very near this species. C. fasciculata Benth. Flora Hongkong, p. 378 only differs by 
having woolly hairs on the inyolucral bracts. C. barbata and C. fasciculata seem however to be good geographical varieties at least, ag ann 
their areas are distinct. 
©. lanceolata Wight Icones t. 2085 (vidi specimina viva in montibus Nilgherry spontanea) is unlike C. barbata : it seems a 
well-marked form, but I do not know hew far the reduction of species might not (and ought to) be carried here. Perhaps O. Lawiana 
and C. rosea Wight Icones t: 2086, C. sarmentosa and C. dichrotricha Wight Icones t. 2087 and C. decumbens Wight Icones t. 2088 differ in 
no character except hairiness, &c. from C. barbata. In Cyanotis the color of the flowers varies purple to blue on the same plant, and the 
color of the monoliform hairs on the filaments is eminently variable. diduyeidhs
