Fruits of this species are not yet observed. I found a few fruit-like 

 bladders caused by an insect in the ovaries, which bladders may have been 

 mistaken for fruits. The following is the description of the same bladder 

 which was at first taken for a fruit. 



Galla ovarii globosa 6-7 mm. in diametro succulenta apice rotundata 

 cum lobis calycis persistentibus adpressis coronata basi rotundata sed ad ex- 

 tremitatem brevissime apiculato-attenuata lasvis in exsiccato fulvescens glabra. 



Very near C. leiocarpus HAY., but differs from it by the much thinner 

 leaves with elevated veins on the upper surface.
