It remains doubtful, whether this can specifically be separated from the 
previously described C. Gregorii (F. v. M. Fragm. i. 71) ; the width of 
the leaf-segments affords no characteristic, and the extent of the cleavage 
of the leaves is also subject to considerable variations. Fruits of the 
New-Guinean plant have not been accessible for comparison ; the flowers 
are rather smaller than in the Australian typical plant. The downy 
vestiture, less divided leaves and larger flowers distinguish already the 
Indian C. Gossypiuin. 
Flacourtia cataphracta, Boxb. in Willd. Spec. Plant, iv. 830, is men- 
tioned by Dr. Scheffer as a New-Guinean plant.
