the N. Indian denticulate, somewhat roughly hairy above, beneath densely villona or 

 thinly hairy often with small obscure round glands ; petiole l-4i in. Panicle 6-12 by 

 4-8 in., erect, brachiate, sometimes leafy on the main rachis, upper branches and 

 calyces more or less reddening; bracts of the cymes usually caducous. Cah/x, in 

 flower, } in., divided nearly to the base ; segments broadly lanceolate, very acute, 

 suberect. Corolla pubescent without, white pink-tinged ; tube | in. Drape i in. 

 diam., black ; calyx in fruit enlarged, sometimes IJ in. diam. — Mountain specimens have 

 often large leaves, and are unusually high-coloured. Lindl. Boi. Beg. 1844, t. 19, 

 doubtfully referred here by Scbaner, has high-red flowers, and may possibly be some 

 garden form of C. mfortunatum, which in the wild state produces a nearly white 

 corolla. 



20. C. villosum, Blume Byd. 811 {excl. syn. Rheede) ; leaves cordate- 

 ovate entire mature villous, panicle open silky hairy, corolla-tulse about as 

 long as the glandular calyx-lobes i in. Schauer in DO. Prodr. xi. 667 ;

A shrub 3-5 ft., or a small tree 15-20 ft. (Kurz). Leaves as of C. imfortunatum, 

 but slightly more silky rather than roughly villous- Panicle as of C. infortunatum, 

 but more softly hairy, and not red. Calyx J in., divided rather more than half-way 

 down. CoMla pubescent, greenish-white, altogether smaller than of C. infortunatum. 

 Drv/pe \ 111 diam., dry black appearing hardly succulent. — Very like G. infortutiattim, 

 but distinguished by its small flowers, and generally also by the glandular calyx-seg- 

 ments. But in a few examples of C. infortunatum from the Malay Peninsula the 

 calyx is ftiU of glands.

 both hemispheres. 



A shrub, 4-8 ft., branches virgate. Leaves 6 by 1 in., shortly acuminate, base 

 tapering, usually entire or sinuate, rarely remotely crenately lohed ; petiole 0-J in. 

 PamWe 8-18 by 4-6 in, often leafy below; cymes very lax, few-fld. ; bracts i in., 

 linear or linear-lanceolate; pedicels J-l J in. Calyx i in., divided | the way down; ■ 

 .segments oblong, cuneately acute. Corolla glabrous, white; tube 3-4^ in.; lobes 

 f in., obovate-oblong. 



Vab. semiserrata ; leaves opposite sbort-petioled elliptic crenate-lobate. panicle 

 terminal 3-4.fld. C. semiserrata, Wall. Cat. 1785.— Prome and Segain ; Wallich. 

 —Apparently =i much-branched shrub ; but the specimens are possibly only short 

 imperfect flower-branches rapidly developed from a normal plant of C. Siphonanthus 

 cut to the base by a hot-weather jungle-fire ; for the calyx and corolla are exactly 

 as of C Siphonanthus.
