The present plant was formerly referred to C. indica ; but the plant is 

 slightly different from the Indian species, as is seen from the specimen of 

 the species collected by Mr. T. KAWAKAMI in Mungpoo at an elevation of 

 8000ft. (Herb. Taihoku, Mungpoo 8000ft. India. Jan. 26, 1912, Fl. leg. 

 T. KAWAKAMI). The leaves of this new plant are ovately acuminate, broadest 

 in the lower portion, while those of the Indian species are obovate, broadest 

 in the upper portion.
