This species is very nearly related to C. puhescens Burkill, with which it is united 

 by Winkler (1914). I have given the differences in the key, and shall consider it 

 a distinct species until more material from Yunnan shows that it is the same as 

 or only a variety of C. pubescens, which, however, inhabits a different geographical 

 region. Neither Winkler nor I have seen any male flowers of these species. Winkler 

 refers also to his C. pubescens a specimen from Shensi collected by Giraldi, Lao-y-san 

 mountains. May 2, 1899 (No. 6136), and the type of C. pi77facnsis Leveille & Vaniot 

 which was found by /. Cavalerie at Pin-fa in Kweichou, March 28, 1903 (No. 

 1011). All these forms need further investigation.
