This is indigenous with C. Cumanensis^ and is also called 
Guaticard by the natives ; but it differs from it in its rounder 
leaves, not cuneate at base, of only half their size, on a shorter 
pubescent petiole, in its pubescent inflorescence with sessile 
flowers, its tomentose calyx, its corolla with a shorter and 
more cylindidcal tube. Its leaves are 1|- inch long, on a petiole 
1-2 lines long. It is a tree 20 feet high.
