Brit, et aliorum, ins. Philipp. (Cuming, 1440), Moulmein 
(Wallich, 1291 in parte, non Cat.). 
The above plants seem to agree with Dr. A. Gray’s description 
of his C. cardiophylla and with De Candolle’s short diagnosis of 
his C. discolor ; but the latter must not be confounded with C. 
discolor of Wallich and Clypea discolor of Blume. 
It differs from C. Cumingiana, from which it is easily distin- 
guished by its narrowly acuminated leaves with longer petioles. 
The leaves are 2^--2J inches long, 2-2^ inches broad, on a pe- 
tiole 1|-1| inch long, inserted H line within the margin of the 
broad and shallow basal sinus : the (J panicle is 1-1^ inch long, 
the peduncle being 8-12 lines, the primary rays 3 lines, each 
dichotomously divided, with a short pedicel in each sinus, the 
short ultimate rays spicated with crowded pedicellated flowers ■, 
the sepals are cuneately oblong, marked with dark glandular 
lines, and are, as well as the shallow cup-shaped petal, pilose 
outside.
