Nearly allied to C. Viorna, Reticulata and Crispa. From C. Viorna it 
differs, in having all the segments of the leaves entire, flowers twice as 
large, and petals thin with the margins undulate. From C. Reticulatait 
differs, by its leaves thin and not coriaceous, scarcely veined, not reticu- 
late. From C. Crispa, which it nearly resembles in habit and inflores- 
cence, it differs by a larger flower, by the margin of the corolla undulate^ 
not revolute, and particularly by the long and bearded tails of the seed,
