I feel a little doubtful whether this be the true C. pendula of 
Blume ; for the cordate base of the leaves is not noticed, and 
the peduncles are described as « longissimi.” In the circum- 
stance first mentioned, and the shorter peduncles, our plant 
agrees better with the C. bicolor, Jack, a plant of Sumatra ; and 
it is said of C. pendula, * Affinis C. Bicolori:” so that probably 
the two are but varieties of one and the same species. The 
colour of the flowers of C. pendula is stated to be, “ sordide 
albus in fundo corolle punctis purpurascentibus.”
