We feel much disposed to agree with Sprengel, when he unites to this species C. coccinea and C. castrensis, 
Linn., as also C. comosa, Retz. C. castrensis, Lour. FI. Coch. 1. p. 202, appears to be certainly our plant. 
We have likewise from Mr. Millett, a variety, perhaps, of this, but with very dissimilar spikes. If dis- 
tinct, it may be thus described : — Glabriuscula; foliis petiolatis oblongo-lanceolatis basi apice attenuatis; 
spicis pedunculatis, elongatis, cylindraceis ; flores inferiores discreti, superiores approximati, summi abortivi 
bracteolffiformes ; stylus gracilis, stigma bifidum ovarium pluri-ovulatum; utriculus l-sperrnus; semen com- 
pressum, nitidum, atrum, cum aliisque abortivis. But as we have already remarked, we prefer considering 
this as a mere form of C. cristata.
