[This plant appears well separable from C. rotundus by the 

 much smaller obtuser nut, and it seems to match well with the 

 Indian C. tenuiflorus ; but the nut of the latter T have never 

 found (it is probably rare as in C. rotundus), and this casts a 

 shadowy doubt over the whole business.]
