Nearest C. corymbosum 0. Kuntze (Berkheya corymbosa DG.) which has 

 woolly branches, larger and different-looking leaves, smaller flower- 

 heads, less copiously spiny outer involucral leaves, and quite différent 

 pappus.

This, which is certainly not D. Schiuzii 0. Hoffm., looks very différent 

 from the type, but cannot think, be regarded on a distinct species.
