 — Lamarck founded Canscora and the species C.perfoUata on Eheede I.e. ; GrriseWh 

 says the calyx is oxalate, in direct opposition to Rheede's figure and description ; 

 moreover the size of the calyx and corolla and whole habit of the plant in Eheede 

 shows that his figure means the Pladera per/oUata of the old collectors.
