The present plant is very distinct from any other species of the 

 genus, in having obovate or even spathulate leaves which are 

 emarginate at the apex. From C. formosana, this differs in the in- 

 florescence on the shortened branchlets standing neaiiy alternately 

 on a lateral branch.

This species is very like C. formosana, but differs from it in 

 the inflorescence.
