This species appears to differ from C. Guatimalensis (Bour- 

 reria grandiflora^ Griseb.) in its smaller, more oval leaves, 

 and a corolla with larger reddish lobes. The leaves are about 

 2 inches long, 1^ inch broad.

As the above characters, drawn from the Venezuelan plant, 

 accord, with few exceptions, with the description given by 

 Bertoloni of his species from Guatemala, I have referred it

 Grisebach confounds it (Cat. PI. Cub. p. 204) in the much 

 larger tube of the corolla, which is white (not reddish). The
