et calyce masculo preter alia differt, ab illo colore magis ochraceo-rufescente, 
laciniis calycis utriusque sexus, numero staminum et capsulis, nec non foliis 
haud pellueido-punctatis nec translucenti-venosis distinguitur. (v. s.)

— Affinis C. Tiglium ab hoc differt consistentia minus rigida omnium partium, 
colore pallido, stylis et capsulis. — Primo intuitu forma rigidior Crotonis 
Moonii aut C. aromatici, sed pilis praesentis cartilagineo-rigidissimis, prater 
alia, statim discernitur. Totus obscure coloratus. (v. s.)
