4. C. sedgwickiana, Schimper ex Engl. Hochgebirgsfl. Trop. Afr 

 376 {without description'). An undershrub with rather long slender 

 sparingly leafy branches pilose below, glandular-pubescent and very 

 scabrid above and on the pedicels. Leaves elliptic, about 1^ in. long 

 and |-| in. broad, rather densely covered with long soft hairs, irregu-

 lower toothed, the upper entire, acute, 1^—2^- lin. long, densely covered 

 with sessile glands ; pedicels 5-9 lin. long. Calyx-segments elliptic- 

 lanceolate, lt>- lin. long, acute, densely covered with sessile glands. 

 Corolla wanting. Capsule broadly ovoid, glabrous, 2^ lin. long.

6. C. floccosa, Benth. in DC. Prodr. x. 245. An undershrub 2-3 

 ft. high, densely tomentose on the leaves and lower part of the stem, 

 glandular-hairy on the upper part of the stem, on the pedicels, bracts, 

 calyx and capsule. Leaves 2-3 in. long, |-1 in. broad, oblong-lanceo- 

 late, acute, cordate or subtruncate at the base, serrate-crenate, slightly 

 rugose on the upper side, shortly petiolate, the upper sessile, Raceme 

 9-12 in. long, lax, sparingly branched at the base ; bracts 4-5 lin. long, 

 2-4 lin. broad, ovate, acuminate, more or less dentate ; pedicels stout, 

 1-1^ in. long. Calyx 3 lin. long ; segments f-1 lin. broad, oblong or 

 elliptic, acute. Corolla 1 in. or more in diam., apparently yellow.

 little at the base ; anthers of the shorter stamens reniform, transverse, 

 of the longer oblong and parallel to the filaments. Capsule slightly 

 longer than the calyx, ovoid, obtuse. — A. Rich. Tent. Fl. Abyss, ii. 109 ;
