C. speciosa, St. Hil., of Brazil, the "floss silk tree," is cult, in S. Calif., and is adapted to warm glasshouses. It is a medium-sized tree, allied to Ceiba and Bombax. Lfts. lanceolate, acuminate, dentate: calyx irregular, shining outside, but silky inside; petals obtuse, yellowish and brown-striped at the base, pubescent on the back.
