Notes
At Leyden there are two collections (TEYSMANN 11672) from Timor and a duplicate from a plant grown in Hort. Bog. sub XV.K.B. XXVI.6 said to come from Flores. The late Dr. BACKER recognized this as a new species in MS which I referred with doubt to C. acuminata in my precursor. However, it appears distinct and supposed to be conspecific with C. elongata.
