Transvaal Colony : Houtbosh, Rehmann, 6374. 
Though geographically widely separated a close ally of this plant 
is C. Manni Hook. from Cameroons, but the inflorescence is not so 
flat at the top and the stem leaves are connate at the base to a 
much less extent, the bracts subtending the flowers are ciliate-margined, 
not papillose-margined and the sepals are minuiely ciliate, not entire 
at the edges. 
Closely allied to C. rubicunda E. Meyer (Refugium Botanicum 
tab. 339) differs in the much denser inflorescence — the stem leaves 
are broader and shorter and connate at the base to a less extent — the 
flowers smaller. 
Stem stout, simple, erect, + 25 cm high. Lower leaves lanceolate or 
oblong-lanceolate, 5,0—8,0 cm long, upper leaves laxer and smaller,
