Of this species, which indeed Messrs. Wight and Arnott 
scarcely think distinct from the C. Roxburghii, DC. (C. corymbosa 
Roxb. Hort. Bengh.) the flowers are small. The sepals are 
nearly equal, imbricated: the interior pair thin and membranace- 
ous, the two exterior herbaceous. Corolla of 4 lanceolate petals, a 
little longer than the calyx. Stamens about 15. Filaments much 
curved, as long as the petals. Anthers ovate. Ovary supported 
on a stalk as long as the stamens. Fruit a small globose Berry, 
usually (by abortion) 1-seeded.
