Information

pubescent; leaves bipinnately or tripinnately parted; pinnæ distant, trifoliolate, leaflets petiolate, ovate-acuminate, toothed, the teeth mucronulate; panicles elongate, spreading; flower-buds very obtuse; sepals spreading, elliptical, obtuse; filaments flat, hairy at base, anthers linear. Climbing over trees and bushes. The pubescence varies greatly in different specimens, and the old leaves are frequently nearly smooth. Flowers in long terminal or axillary, naked panicles, whose branches spread at right angles with the stem. Known from C. Thunbergii by its obtuse buds and sepals; and from C. Oweniæ, besides other marks, by the filaments and anthers. The carpels are glabrescent, orbicular, compressed and margined, with long, feathery tails.
