Western Szech’uan: vicinity of Tachien-lu, thickets, alt. 2600-

seed No. 1797). 
Common in thickets and hedge-rows in the neighborhood of Tachien-lu. 
This species is very closely related to C. connata De Candolle, especially to the 
form latipes Kuntze, and would seem to differ from it chiefly in its more coarsely 
toothed leaves and shorter, more compact inflorescence.
