This species is undoubtedly very closely allied to C. myxa Linn., and in spite 
of a total lack of material for comparison, would here have been reduced to it, 
had it not been for Clarke’s positive statement 7 “leaves never 
acuminate.” Throughout the long series of plants above quoted, there are only 
three or four mature leaves in all which are not acuminate, the acumen is 
occasionally acute, but much more often obtuse, its width nearly constant. Even 
the great majority of very young leaves distinctly show an acumen. Bentham, 
who includes the Philippine plants, not then described as separate, with C. myxa, 
says, l. e., that the leaves are “very obtuse or shortly acuminate,” but I do not 
know how far Philippine material may have been responsible for the exception, 
Giirke 8 figures them as shortly and sharply acuminate. The size of the flowers 
of C. blancoi more often exceeds the limits stated by Clarke for C. myxa, the 
calyx before anthesis often having a length of 5.5 or even 6 mm. 
A specimen with the under surface of the (young) leaves and the inflorescence 
much more pubescent than any of the collections above cited, but otherwise 
agreeing with- the species, is For. Bur. 1/55 Ahern’s collector, Antipolo, Prov.
