 scabrous-pubescent above, villous and tomentose beneath ; petiole \ in. Panicles

 glabrous without, tube shorter than the calyx; liuib 2-lipped, rose, somewhat brown- 

 striated, especially the upper lip (Griffith). Ovary glabrous, glandular upwards. Drupe

2. C. velutina, Wight Ic. t. 1479, 3 or 1566 ; leaves ovate acumi- 

 nate mature glabrous, involueral bracts spathulate-oblong distinctly nervose,

TENASSEEIM ; at Mergui, Griffith (Herb. Propr. n. 838). TAVOY ; Heifer (Kew 

 Distrib. n. 6012). 



A large climber ; branches closely pubescent. Leaves 5 by 2 in., base obtuse 

 or rounded, young thinly sparsely pubescent ; petiole \ in. Panicle large, more lax 

 than in C. vestita, closely pubescent, nodes villous ; bracts 1^ by ^ in., obtuse, base 

 attenuate, tomentose beneath. Calyx in., lobed scarcely \ the way down. Corolla

PEGU; Rangoon (Roxburgh). MEBGUI; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 6012, 

 partly). 



A large climber, resembling C. velutina, but the leaves very villous beneath. 

 Leaves in Roxburgh's drawing ovate, in Griffith's example oblong; glabrate above 

 except the midrib. Panicle large, very lax ; bracts uniformly 4 in Griffith's example, 

 3 (one of which is often bifid) in Roxburgh's picture; resembling in form the bracts 

 of C. velutina.
