 Not easily distinguishable from C.Jlavescens, Linn., unless by 

 the cells of the surface of the nut. 



G. Elliottianus, Eoem. et Sch., founded on one very poor 

 specimen, is referred (doubtfully) by Nees and Boeckeler to 

 C.Jlavescens ; but it is described as having two, not three, bracts ; 

 C. Olfersianus has often two bracts only, while C.Jlavescens has 

 very rarely less than three.
