I have only seen two specimens of this species, and have consequently reproduced 
the main features of Mr. Petrie’s description. According to him, its affinities are 
chiefly with C. hieracifolia and C. Sinclairir

short. Leaves 1—5in. long, $-lin. broad, obovate-oblong to linear-oblong, 
obtuse or acute, narrowed to the base, coriaceous, obtusely crenate or serrate, 
glabrous or slightly pubescent above, viscid, clothed with appressed buff

Apparently somewhat local in its distribution. It is probably nearer to C. Dallii 
than any other, but it is not nearly fp large, and does ju ossess the large leafy
