A species near C. laxiflora, but diflfering in its more glabrous 
stems, in its leaves with much shorter and stouter petioles, in a 
less elongated (J inflorescence, with branches more densely co- 
rymbose ; the calyx not half the length and breadth of that in 
the former species, upon closer and shorter pedicels, and with 
shorter stamens. The axils are 2^ inches apart; the leaves 
are 3^3| inches long, 3^-3| inches wide, with a broad basal 
sinus 2-3 lines deep, on a petiole 1 inch long, inserted 7 lines 
within the margin of the sinus. The (J inflorescence is 5^ inches 
long, with its lower branch inch long; the branchlets 2-3 
lines long, alternately and approximately divided, all very pubes- 
cent; pedicels not longer than the campanulately turbinate 
calyx, which is subpilose outside, line long, with a 4-toothed 
border; petals squamiform, erect, one-sixth the length of the 
calyx, filament half the length of the calyx.
