This species closely resembles C. tergemina ; but the calyx, half instead of only one sixth the length 

 of the corolla, appears to be constant.

The foliage is that of C. tergemina. The /. Hairisii, Lindl., .ras said to be from Mexico. The spe- 

 cimens differed from those I formerly possessed of the Brazilian C. cylindrocarpa in their pubescence; 

 and I had not seen the fruit ; so I concluded the two were distinct. I have, however, since seen the fruit 

 of the garden I. Harrisii, which is precisely that of the C. cylindrocarpa ; and among the numerous Rio 

 Janeiro specimens in the various herbaria I have now had before me, many pubescent ones, often mixed 

 with the glabrous ones, agree so precisely with the warden ones.tliaf T f««i ^w;„.^ +^ «^„«i...i« +T,«f all
