Notes
In my precursor I have kept C. dichotoma and C. acuminata as distinct, but a reexamination of the variability of the size and shape of the leaves, the length of the main peduncles, etc. are too inconstant; the intermediates showed that this distinction is not tenable. The Timor specimens cited in the precursor (l.c. 64) have appeared to belong to a second species.
