A species somewhat like C. Arnottii, from which it differs in 
its narrower leaves, its lax branching male inflorescence, and its 
glabrous flowers. The leaves are 3^-5 inches long, 2^~2^ inches 
broad, on a petiole 1-1 inch long, inserted 6 lines within the 
margin of the basal sinus, which is only 1-3 lines deep. The 
raceme-like panicle in one specimen is 5^ inches long, with 
bracteolated axils about | inch apart, the lower branches being 
almost filiform and 4 inches long, diminishing upwards, the 
secondary branchlets 4-6 lines long, bearing towards their 
summit several alternate pedicellated flowers in lax corymbulose 
heads. In the other specimen the rachis is straight and almost 
filiform, 11 inches long, with bracteolated axils 3-6 lines apart, 
from which the lower branches have disappeared, the inter- 
mediate and more terminal short branches alone remaining 
floriferous.
