Mr. Waby notes that there are four plants of this species 
growing within a short distance of each other and that they can 
easily be distinguished from those of C. lutescens growing close 
by on account of their being glaucescent and having the rings 
on the stem more pronounced and wider apart. The largest 
plant has two stout stems with swollen bases forked just above 
the ground just like the forking of the Doum Palm (Hyphaene) 
and three stout stems with swollen confluent bases crowded 
together but not forked, as well as several other smaller stems. 
Neither of the other plants has a forked stem. The history of 
these plants has not been recorded.
