The three species C. incompta, C. filifolia, and C. marginata, 
are all closely related, but are easily distinguished by their 
flowers. In C. marginata the wings of the corolla are as long 
as the keel and dilated at the broadly rounded apex. In 
C. filifolia and C. incompta the wings are much shorter than the 
keel, and C. filifolia has faleate acute wings, whilst in C. incompta 
they are oblong and obtuse.
