This species belongs very likely to the group Euthystemon, but 
it is rather difficult to state its affinities, owing to the form of the 
calyx. There are two groups of Cvphomandra very well character- 
ized: the one with a large, conical, expanded and, at the margin, 
nearly truncated calyx, and the other with small but distinctly and 
deeply lobed calyx. 
The calyx of our plant has the form of the large calyculate spe- 
cies with its § mucrons but it is more than five times shorter than the 
petals, so that it is undoubtedly a small calyculate Cyvphomandra. 
However, in that group it must be placed near C. oxyphylla, caps:- 
cotdes, laxiflora and divaricata, if we follow the arrangement of 
Dunal in DC, Prod. 13’: 397. They all differ by their pubescence 
and deeply cleft calyx. 
In habit our species resembles C. corymébitflora, which differs 
chiefly by its more divided inflorescences with shorter and more 
divaricate branches. It differs also in being more hairy. exdler 
no. 2099 from Venezuela, in the Kew Herbarium, may be the same 
species. It is at least very similar.
