 China. 



1. C. paniculatus 9 T. Anders, in Journ. Linn. Soc. ix. 458 ; leaves 

 elliptic acuminate at both ends puberulous on the nerves beneath, panicle 

 terminal ovate-oblong somewhat lax hairy, calyx- segments ^ in.

Branches elongate, stout, tetragonous, glabrous. Leaves 5| by 2 in., undulate ; 

 petiole hardly i in. Panicle 7 by 3 in., many-fid.; bracts at tbe main division 1 by 

 5 in., glabrous, foliaceous, otherwise very hairy. Sepals linear-oblong. Corolla 

 1 in., upper half ventricose, hairy, violet (Lobb); segments ovate, suberect. Anthers 

 ncluded. Capsule \\ by ], in., very hairy, 16-seeded. Seeds lenticular, densely 

 shortly hairy ; hairs standing out when wetted.

BUBMA; Brandis. 



A shrub ; branches puberulous, internodes short. Leaves 3-4 by f-H in-> acute 

 at both ends, softly silky beneath ; petiole 1 in. Cymes viscous-hairy; pedicels in. 

 Sepals ^ in., linear-oblong, very hairy. Corolla 1^ in., inflated upwards, viscous : 

 lobes small, snbequal. Capsule 1 by | in., tomentose. Mostly copied from T. 

 Anderson, the Kew example being imperfect; but it is sufficient to show that the 

 species is congeneric with C. paniculatus, which Bentham (Gen. PI. ii. 1098) 

 doubts. 



3. C. pulcherrimus, Clarke-, leaves large elongate-lanceolate gla- 

 brous, panicle terminal linear, calyx-teeth ^- in. Loxanthus Gomezii, 

 Nees in DC. Prodr. xi. 322 (as to the Meryui plant}. Phlogacanthus pul-

A shrub. Leaves 8 by 2 in., acuminate at both ends, subentire ; petiole 1 in. 

 Panicle 4-18 by ^ in., nearly glabrous ; proper bracts small, but foliaceous ; other 

 bracts f by in. are sometimes scattered throughout the panicle ; pedicels 0- in.
