Planta chinensis ab indica (C. monosperma Roxb. 
fl. Ind. I, 625. Hook. f. fl. Brit. Ind. I, 618), quam 
vidi e Sikkim a Thomson et Clarke, ex Bengalia 
orientali a Griffith, ex Assam a Jenkins lectam, 
praeter characteres olim a Benthamio indicatos: flores 
in pedunculis axillaribus capitato-congestos in posteriore 
et fruetus formam, optime distincta reticulo toto folio- 
rum So prominente neque tantum trabeculis 
t lis. Capsula C. Hindsii 
Sisi subglobosa, illa C. monospermae distinctissime 
stipitata, stylus prioris brevissimus, posterioris longius- 
culus, prior in sicco virens, posterior nigrescit. 
In utraque specie, praeter pedunculos axillares bre- 
vissimos paucifloros, occurrunt tales longissimi pani- 
culatim multiflori, rami aphylli censendi, 
C. Kiusiana Franch. Savat. En. II, 314., florens 
descripta, e Kiusiu prov. Hiuga a Rein allata, mihi 
ignota, satis ex descriptione convenire videtur, praeter 
folia ovata v. oblongoovata, quae in C. Hindsii oblonga 
y. oblongoobovata esse solent.

Foliis deciduis. 
3. C. angulata. Glabra, ramis acutissime angulatis 
castaneis, foliis chartaceis modice petiolatis, late orbi- 
culato- vel obovato-ellipticis subito obtuse brevissime 
acuminatis argute crenatis; panicula conica terminali 
multiflora, rhachi pedicellisque crassis angulatis, pedi- 
cellis capsula subglobosa trivalvi stylo brevissimo co- 
ronata duplo saltem brevioribus; seminibus sub-5 totis 
arillo inclusis. 
China occidentalis: prov. Kansu, valle fl. Hoangho 
austrum versus ab urbe Lan-tscheu, fructif., verisimili- 
terque eandem sterilem in ditione ripae sinistrae ejus- 
dem fluvii frutescentem foliis late obovatis v. arboream, 
detexit Dr. Piasezki. 
Specc. sterilia omnibus punctis cum fertili congrua, 
praeter folia obovata et petiolos breves (5—6 mm., 
nec 20 mm.). Si revera conspecifica, tum stipulae (in 
ramo frf. caduca) firme membranaceae, late subulatae. 
— Folia quoad formam et consistentiam cum majori- 
bus C. articulatae convenientia, sed affinitas videtur cum 
C. paniculata W., quacum forma foliorum, panicula 
terminali et capsula vulgo trivalvi congruit, et a qua 
tantum differt ramulis nec teretibus nec albopunctatis 
et rhachi paniculae pedicellisque crassissimis neque 
gracilibus. Rami steriles flagelliformes habitum C. arti- 
culatae similem indicant.
