m. high, with spreading branches. Branchlets brown, glabrous 
2—3 mm. thick; flowering twigs 1 mm. thick, angled and grooved 
or subterete, rusty-tomentose ; internodes °5—1°5 cm. long. Lamine 
membranous, obovate-oblong, 3°5—13 cm. long, 1°5—5 cm. broad, 
with subcaudately acuminate apex and rounded or obtusely cuneate 
base ; upper surface olivaceous, subnitid, reticulate rusty-pubescent 
on basal half of midrib, otherwise glabrous; lower surface dull 
green, subglaucous, rusty-pubescent on midrib and basal margin, 
very sparsely adpressedly pubescent on nerves and general surface 
or glabrescent ; midrib and nerves slender; nerves 10O—15, anasto- 
mosing near the margin; cross-nervules irregular and often broken 
up by subsidiary lateral nerves; petiole scarcely 2 mm. long, rusty- 
pubescent; stipules persistent, acicular, 5 mm. long, rusty-pubes- 
cent. Flower-clusters strung along the twigs, of fairly numerous 
3g and 2 flowers mixed; bracteoles ovate, acute, carinate and + — 
rusty-pubescent on outer, glabrous on inner surface. o flowers 
fusiform in bud, 3 mm. long; calyx pubescent externally glabrous 
internally ; sepals deltoid; petals shortly clawed, suborbicular, 
erenulate, ‘5 mm. long and broad; disk lining calyx cup, subcrenu- 
lately margined ; pistillode hirsute, ovoid, with subacute 3-fid apex. 
2 flowers 5 mm. long, fusiform in bud; calyx cup turbinate ; sepals 
janceolate, pubescent externally, glabrous internally; petals 1 mm. 
long, oblong-obovate, subcrenulate ; annulus of the disk setulosely 
pubescent on outer surface; ovary globosely ovoid, densely hirsute ; 
styles united for half their length, slender, terete, glabrous, 2-fid ; 
stigmas slightly clavate. Capsule sessile, 9 mm. in vertical, 1:3

As Hooker points out, this species is allied to C. membranaceus, but is dis- 
tinguished from it by the more pubescent calyx, the different form of the petals, 
and the shiny upper surface of the leaves.
