Morphological affinity of C. bractefoliaceum is with C. effusum by the presence of 
secondary domatia and persistent tepals in the fruit. However, the indument on the lower leaf 
surface is very different between the two species; absent or made of straight and appressed 
trichomes in C. effusum, whereas always present and made of wavy to curly appressed hairs more 
or less persistent in C. bractefoliaceum. The presence of foliaceous rather persistent bracts in the 
inflorescence is also distinctive for C. bractefoliaceum, and from that feature derives the name of 
the species. Foliaceous bracts in C. effusum are rarely present, and then are poorly developed and 
soon deciduous.
