very slender and much shorter petioles. None of the specimens 
are in iiovver. The leaves are 2|-5 inches long, 2:^-4^ inches 
broad, with a scarcely appreciable basal sinus, on a petiole IJ- 
2 inches long, inserted 6-14 lines within the basal margin.

This species has been confounded with C. peltata ; but it is 
distinguished from it by its far more acuminated leaves, by the 
peculiar character of its inflorescence, more especially by its 
more entire and simply dentate tubular calyx and corolla, and, 
finally, by its difierent geographical range. The leaves are 4- 
5^ inches long, 2^4 inches broad, on a petiole 7 lines to 1^ inch 
long, rarely longer, inserted 6-9 lines within the margin of the 
sinus, which is seldom more than 1 line deep. The ^ raceme is 
4-7 inches long, upon a very slender rachis geniculated at the
