The flowers of var. obtusiuscida are not yet open, but the sepals are distinctly 

 obtuse and not much longer than the stamens and carpels, which are identical 

 with those of the type. Both numbers look very much alike. The inflores- 

 cences are the same as in typical C. urophylla.

(no. 3898; typus in Herb. Schneider). 



This species has the leaves of C. urophylla Fr. and the inflorescences and 

 flowers of C. lasiandra Maxim., the sepals of which are much more glabrous. 

 The plant is named in compliment to Rev. A. Kock of the Pentecostal Mission 

 at Lichiang-fu, in appreciation of valued service rendered to the author during 



the summer of 1914.
