In Nova Caledonia (Sebert et Fournier n. 69, Petit n. 69). — »Les 

 feuilles rappellent beaucoup Celles du C. subcuneata, bien que les petiolules soient nuls 

 ou presque, mais ä cause de l'absence de glandes 6cailleuses sur tous les organes, cette 

 espece appartient ä la section Ellattopetalum. Elle s'y distingue des autres especes ä 

 fruit glabre par son calice glabre.<<
