In the length of the calyx teeth these specimens are intermediate 

 between the type and var. azurea, C. B. Clarke. 



Hosseus ii. p. 429 refers his 370 to C. azurea, Wall., forma. He 

 also refers other collections which the writer has not seen to 

 C. azurea, Wall, and to C. tomentosa, Roxb. After further exami- 

 nation of the material in the herbarium the writer is forced to th"e 

 conclusion that these Iwo are but forms of one species.
