As regards its floating foliage, this species is intermediate 
between C. aquatica, Aubl., and C. Piauhyensis, Gardn. From 
the former it is distinguished by these leaves being far nar- 
rower, and not unfrequently emarginate at one end; by its 
much shorter anthers, and less pubescent carpels and pedicels. 
From the latter, by its much narrower leaves 3 by its nearly 
round, not oblong, anthers ; by its thicker and shorter carpels ; 
the Tous, not echinate, seeds; and the pubescent, not 
glabrous, petioles and peduncles. G. Gardner.
