Notes: Note source: No photo. Label source: 2. 18/5 This plant was said by Cross, on his recent visit to the Nilgiris, to be the C. crispa of which he sent seeds from the Loxa mountains. That it came from Loxa there is no doubt, as the few specimens of it from, the estate of Dodabetta are growing amongst the crown barks introduced from that region. It differs however, very much from the C. crispa of Tafalla, which belongs to the C. officinalis group of Weddell. In general appearance it is more nearly allied to, Weddells section pahudianae. Its bark is also very peculiar, in fact unique.
