This approaches C. scandem very closely, but appears to be distinguished by its broader 

 leaves, much more hairy rhachis, larger, paler-coloured, and transparent spicula, and 

 shorter nerveless neutral flowers.

I have only seen one specimen of this, sent by Dr. Meisner to the Kew Herbarium, 

 evidently composed of two proliferous branchlets. I have no doubt, however, that it is 

 a good species. It approaches O. scandem in some respects.
