The narrower leaflets, usually racemose, not paniculate inflorescence, acute 

 sepals and fulvous awns to the carpels sufficiently distinguish this species from 

 C. Meyeniana Walpers with which it has been confused in herbaria. We have 

 seen no specimens from central or western China which could be referred to C. 

 Meyeniana Walpers, and it is probable that this species is restricted to southern 

 and sub-tropical parts of China. We suspect that many of the specimens referred 

 to C. Meyeniana by Finet & Gagnepain (Contrib. Fl. As. Or. I. 15 (1905)), belong 

 to C. Pavoliniana. 



C. Pavoliniana is very common in the glens and ravines round Ichang up to 

 1000 m. alt.
