Species nova C. velutinae Sendt. affine, differt indumento omnium 
partium minus denso, foliis duplo-quadruplo longioribus, acumine basali 
quam apicaii multo longiore; inflorescentiis simpliciter racemosis; corolla 
multo breviore, profunde fissa; tubo staminali altiusculo. 
Verruculis corticis, ramulorum, petiolorum et inflorescentiae rhachidis
