0 . Kuntzo unites C. LeschenaxiUiana D. C. with C. acuminata ; the leaves of the former are certainly

pubescent on the outside, there is indeed no good character to sepaiiite the Javanese plant from 0
acuminata. Closely allied to 0. acuminata vur. Walliohii is Fronchet's C. ynnnauemis, -which diGers
