 China. 



1. C. paniculatus, T. Anders, in Joum. lAnn. Sob. ix. 458 ; leaves 

 elliptic acuminate at both ends puberulous on the nerves beneath, panicle 

 terminal ovate-oblong somewhat lax hairy, calyx-segments ^-j in.

Sranches elongate, stout, tetragonous, glabrous. Leaves h\ by 2i in., undulate ; 

 petiole hardly i in- Panicle 7 by 3 in., many-fld.; bracts at the main division 1 by 

 i in., glabrous, foliaceous, otherwise very hairy. Sepals linear-oblong. Corolla 

 1 in., upper half ventricose, hairy, violet (Lobb); segments ovate, suberect. Anthers 

 ncluded. Capsule 1^ by J in., very hairy, 16-seeded. Seeds lenticular, densely 

 shortly hairy ; hairs standing out when wetted. 



2. C. cymosus, T. Anders, in Joum. Linn. Soc. ix. 458 ; leaves elliptic

BuBMA; JBrandis. 



A shrub ; branches puberulous, internodes short. Leaves 3-4 by |-1J in., acute 

 at both ends, softly silky beneath ; petiole 1 in. Ci/mes viscous-hairy; pedicels \ in. 

 Sepals § in., linear-oblong, very hairy. Corolla ij in., inflated upwards, viscous ; 

 lobes small, suhequal. Capsule IJ by J in., tomentose. — Mostly copied from T. 

 Anderson, the Kew example being imperfect; but it is sufficient to show that the 

 species is congeneric with 0. paniculalus, which Bentham (Gen. PI. ii, 1098) 

 doubts. 



3. C. pulcherrimuB, Clarke; leaves large elongate-lanceolate gla- 

 brous, panicle terminal linear, calyx-teeth J-^ in. Loxanthus Gomezii, 

 Wees in DC. Prodr. xi. 322 {as to the Mergui plant). Phlogacanthns pul- 

 cherrimus, T. Anders, in Joum. lAnn. Soc. ix. 507 ; F^urz For. Fl. ii. 

 246. 



Meegui ; Griffith (Kew Distrib. n. 6155, partly). Moulmein ; Parish. 

 Tenassebim; Seddome. 



A shrub. Leaves 8 by 2 in., acuminate at both ends, snbentire ; petiole 1 in. 

 Panicle 4^18 by f in., nearly glabrous ; proper bracts small, but foliaceous ; other 

 bracts | by i in. are sometimes scattered throughout the panicle ; pedicels 0-^ in. 

 Calyx-tule ^ in., teeth linear, slightly or deusely pubescent. Corolla 1 in., tubular- 

 funnel-shaped, somewhat curved, nearly glabrous, appears to have been green -yellow 

 with purple spots ; lobes ovate, erect-patent. Filaments very hairy at the base ;

 99).

 oblong or linear-spathulate, corolla straight subsymmetric. — Pegu ; Srandis. Tenas- 

 serim, Mooleyit, Beddome. Mergui, Griffith (Herb. Propr. u. 875). 



4. C. insig^nis, Ciar'^e;. leaves large broadly elliptic acute at both 

 ends glabrous, panicle terminal dense slightly pubescent, calyx-teeth ^ iu. 

 Phlogacanthns insignis, Kurz in Flora J870, 364, and in journ. As. Soc.
