C. obcordata is referred by Grisebach to C. biflora, but whether or not on any other authority than 
Wikström’s expression * C. biflore affinis? does not appear. The description given is totally at variance 
with that species, and suggested an affinity to C. lineata, differing in the rather more numerous leaflets 
and the stipitate gland ; and subsequently I met with an original specimen from Wikstróm in herb. DC., 
which appeared to me to be only a slight variety of that species, which requires, however, further com- 
parison with allied species, through a better series of specimens than we possess. 
C. tenella and C. Schlimii come near to some of the smaller forms of C. lineata; but the veins of the 
leaflets are more or less branched, and their habit is that of C. cordistipula. C. polyadena, DC., to which 
Grisebach referred Wright's Cuban specimens, n. 2376, is also nearly allied, differing in the larger, more 
numerous leaflets, more erect habit, Sc
