The present plant is near C. articulatus; but differs from it in 
having more rounded leaves and transversely wrinkled carpels in 
a’ dried specimen. The leaves are nearly rounded, or slightly 
cordate at the base, shortly acute or nearly rounded at the apex, 
remotely serrulate on the margin, while those of C. articulatus are 
nearly obovate, acute or rounded, but never cordate, at the base. 
The carpels of the latter plant are not wrinkled, but rather smooth 
even when dried.

The plant is very near PR, triquetra Wau, and perhaps further 
study will prove them to be identical.
