G. cravirotra Haworth in Phil. Mag. 1827, p. 274. There are 
no specimens in the Oxford Herbarium. It is considered by Harvey 
as a doubtful synonym of C. cristata, but Haworth considered it 
curvantibus, apice subcrispo acuminulato. Florebat cum precedente 
in Sept. 1826, G. H. Descriptio. Priori valde affinis at abunde 
distincta videtur. Folia subtrientalia, plus quam duplo angustiora, 
petiolo magis incurvo, vix puberula, ramentis caulinis forte pauci- 
oribus; cum eodem modo florendi ; tubo subincurvo robustiore, 
yiridi; laciniis intus albis, extus (uno latere) purpureis, et basi 
undato-sublobulatis ut in priore.”’ 
In shape of leaf it is more nearly allied to C. Coopert.
