Panicle peduncled ; peduncle hoary, oorymbosely branched above. Flowers i in. diam., 

 very shortly pedicelled, pale, glabrous, globose. Petals broadly ovate. Fruit 4 in. diam., 

 globose, yellow. — Beddome considers this to be probably a variety of C. WiMerumi, 

 but the inflorescence is totally different.
