Note.—This species in Boott is not C, cephaloidea Dew. in Wood's 
Botany, as the belgie so different, show ; and it was first described in 
1862 in his gard above. How C. cephaloidea came to designate it, 
is unknown to m Si t as Dr. Boott has fixed the name on this plant, 
and as no one Nie recognized the other, it may be well to substitute this 
description in Wood hereafter, giving to Dr, Boott the honor.
