Notes
The variety here recognised passes insensibly on the one hand into C. senegalensis proper, on the other into C. brocchiana, var. Hartmanni. The original description given by Lamarck applies to this variety; the specimen cited by that author belongs, however, to the form here described as typical C. senegalensis .
