which superficially most resemble it belong to other families, but it may prove 
to be a true Heliotropium. Llanos’ species, from Angeles, Pampanga, where it 
is known as taling-bondoc, has no other means of identification: it was reduced 
to H. coromandelianum by Villar, and if really known to him, may prove the 
key to the situation. As yet, this local name does not appear in this herbarium on 
any sheet of Boraginaceae or any species of other families suggested by Naves’ 
plate.

India, Australia, Mascarene Islands. There seems to be much doubt regarding 
the occurrence of this genus elsewhere in Malaya, in spite of its wide distribution: 
Miquel enumerates both of the present species, but apparently had not seen either ; 
Boerlage omits the genus altogether. In the Philippines, it is almost certainly 
introduced, although long established.

While these are the species so-called in eastern Asiatic botany, they do not 
exactly agree with the descriptions in the Flora of British India. Our C. mi- 
cranthum differs in having slightly larger calyx-lobes, and nearly all the flowers 
are pedicelled except when very young; the fruit in our specimens is about 4 mm 
in diameter: Philippine C. furcatum has more pubescent leaves than described,
