This may probably be a more perfect state of C. capitatum, but it has a different 

 appearance. The heads of flowers are of a much paler colour, and the fertile flower is 

 wry much Longer. Griffith says that he found it commonly on the summit of the Patkaye 

 range, on his journey from Naga to- llookhoom, and that it descended to a considerable 

 distance on the southern side.

The foliage and ligules, combined with the smaller-sized fertile spicule, appear to keep 

 this distinct from the two preceding species.
