Flowers in March, fruits (still young) in May. Growing in Araucaria forest, altitude was 
not recorded, but probably grow between 800-1000 m. So far this species is known just from the

At first sight C. hirsutum looks very similar to C. glaziovii and C. pseudoglaziovii, but 
the long rather erect hairs covering twigs, leaves, inflorescences, and flowers, as well as the 
persistent tepals in fruit, distinguish it clearly from the other two.
