Of C. dichroantha, I have seen only a leaf and one calyx from tlie type specimen, 

 which are perfectly identical with those of C. medoensis ; the description also quiie 

 agrees with the latter species.

Schumann describes the corolla as being about 3i in. (8-5 cm.) long, of which tlic 

 tube measures 2-| in. (6 cm.) in length, and states that the corolla-tube and the corona 

 are both glabrous. I find them as described above.
