The type consists of a single plant in which the racemes are 



well advanced toward the production of mature capsules. From 



C. micranthum (Lindl.) Rolfe it differs in having longer leaves, 



longer racemes and more or less spathulate perianth segments. 



It differs from C. Schiedii Benth. in the form of the leaves and 



perianth segments.
