Notes
The African specimens I have seen look rather different from var. nutans, but the Asian often approach it very much, and no sharp line between the two varieties can be drawn. The collection from West Java determined by CLARKE as C. eleusinoides, and the greater part of the collections cited under this name by MERRILL, l.c., belong to var. nutans. The Philippine collection cited by KÜKENTHAL, l.c., under var. subprolixus KÜK. I take for a depauperate var. nutans.
