Die Art steht der C. multijuga Harms in Engl. Bot. Jahrb. XL. (1907) 23 sehr 

 nahe. Sie teilt mit ihr die Form der Blattchen und die Gestalt des Rezeptakulums, 

 unterseheidet sich jedoch durch groBere Blatter mit groBeren Blattchen in goringerer 

 Zahl von Paaren, langere Trauben und groCere Bliiten (langeres Rezeptakulum and 

 langere Brakteolen).
