dense sericeous inside, pistil 2.8 - 3.3 mm long, glabrous, ovary 1.1 - 1.3 mm long, ca. 1 mm 
wide; fruit not known, tepals not persistent, falling as one piece after anthesis. 
Flowers in August. No fruits have been collected; the fruits of the collection Binot 22 are 
diseased. C. glaziovii is known from very few collections, all around the same locality as 
lectotype, a small area north of Rio de Janeiro. 
This species is distinguished by having leaves with scattered straight appressed hairs on 
lower surface, and tepals not persistent in fruit, from its closest morphologically related species, 
C. pseudoglaziovii, which has wavy to curly hairs on lower leaf surface, and tepals partially 
persistent in fruit (see additional comments under that species). 
From the four collections mentioned by Mez in the original description (Glaziou 6668, 
8097, 15368; Binot 22) 1 chose Glaziou 15368 as the lectotype for it has good mature open 
flowers and matches closely Mez's diagnosis for the species. Furthermore, that collection is well 
represented in several herbaria.
