This is readily distinguished from the allied C. lichiangensis 
by the large bracts enclosing the cymes, by the more deeply 
cleft calyx, and by the deep-rose, almost glabrous, corolla.

Species affinis C. roseae, W. W. Sm. sed caulibus densissime 
setosis, foliis majoribus, cymis longiuscule pedunculatis, floribus 
flavis inter alia dignoscitur.
