With almost exactly the foliage of some specimens of C. nitidula, this has six nearly 
equal petals, and the calyx-tube wants the two internal longitudinal ribs characteristic 
of the section to which that species belongs. C. intermedia is, in some of its characters, 
intermediate between Koehne’s sections Leptocalyx and Diploptychia.
