being more villous, rather than hispid. Bracteas sometimes full yellow, as is the case with the pre ced in g .
Mr Bentham remarks (ms.) : “ Flowers of C. pallida ; foliage of C. coccinea. Nearly allied to this is the
C. parviflora, Bong. Veg. de Sitch. p. 40,” but of which no specific character is given ; there is however the
observation, “ valde affinis C. coccinea, a qua autem tam habitu quam floribus duplo minoribus differt.”

(last journey).—The species of this genus are liable to much variation, and their essential characters difficult to
be determined ; hence there is much confusion among authors. Chamisso and Schlechtendal consider the
C. septentrionalis of Lindley, and the European pallida (Lindley’s Sibirica) to be identical. I will not attempt
to decide the point from dried specimens, where the flowers cannot satisfactorily be examined, but content
myself with Mr Bentham’s definitions, made from our own specimens.
