cuneate or acute or rounded at base; upper surface red-brown, 
shining or dull, glabrous except sometimes on the midrib, lower 
surface brown-giaucous or bluish-glaucous, sometimes minutely 
puberulous on the midrib and main nerves; 10—20 cm. long, 3—6 
em. broad ; midrib fairly stout, slightly impressed above as are the 
7 to 12 pairs of oblique main nerves which are joined by slender 
inconspicuous subparalle! nervules and the minutely netted reticu- 
lation; petiole 1—1-5 cm. long, thickened, rugose, nearly glabrous. 
Flowers subsessile, in tawny-pubescent axillary or terminal panicles, 
the axillary curved and shorter than the leaves, the terminal usually 
Somewhat elongate ; bracts and bracteoles minute, caducous. Peri- 
anth-tube funnel-shaped, 15 mm. long; lobes ovate-acute or the 
iner rounded, sub-equal, sparsely golden-pubescent within, 2 mm. 
long. Stamens of lst and 2nd rows 1:5 mm. long, connective 
produced in a membranous subacute tip, filaments villous; those 
of 3rd row similar but more slender ; staminodes of 4th row cordate, 
acuminate, villous at back and on the short base, 1 mm. long; 
glands rounded, glabrous, -5 mm. long on villous stalks -25 mm. 
long. Ovary slender, glandular, glabrous; stigma capitate. Fruit

This species seems, by description, to be very near to C. acutiflora, Bl., but 
it does not agree with the only specimens of the latter that I have seen. I 
do not feel quite sure I am right in identifying the large available material as 
belonging to C. Kurzit, of which I have only seen two sheets at Kew (Gréffith 
4274 K.D. 1142) ; but I believe it is correct to do so. Ihave been a little in 
doubt about K.C. 6083 as to the possibility of its being the flowering form of 
C. argentea, but I think not.
