Information
leaves crowded toward the end of the branches, scattered, (of unknown form); peduncles elongate, panicled, the branches of the panicle alternate, patent, simple or forked, scorpioid; glabrous; flowers shortly pedicellate, subsecund, nodding; calyx and corolla glabrous; tube of the corolla twice or thrice as long as the calyx, longer than the lanceolate-oblong limbs of the petals. This, though nearly allied to C. fascicularis, differs in the much more slender peduncles, looser and more racemose panicle, and smaller, glabrous flowers. The specimens seen are without leaves; the leaf-scars are tubercular, closely spiral on nearly conical ends of a fleshy stem, an inch or more in diameter. Peduncles 2 feet high, 1 1/2–2 lines in diameter below, becoming very slender upwards; branches of the panicle racemose, 4–6 inches long. Flowers 1/2 inch long.
