This appears to have sufficient characters, in the very long, 
narrow, attenuated leaves, and the long and very slender segments 
of the limb of the corolla, combined with an erect (or apparently 
erect) habit, to be considered a distinct species. I have been un- 
willing to sacrifice the only flower I possess to the examination of 
the interior organs. Another apparently distinct species, though 
allied to this, is C. angustifolia, Dalz. MSS., from the same 
country. ‘This has a similar erect habit, broader and shorter 
leaves, several flowers from the apex of the stem, with shorter 
segments to the corolla, which are very sensibly dilated upwards. 
Both have the young portion of the stem and young leaves 
minutely hairy.
