Eidley says he is unable to separate specifically the forms described respectively 

 under the names of C. pilosa, BL, and C. decurrens, De Vr., at least as far as applies 

 to the variety Wallichii of the latter. The main distinction seems to be in the 

 amount of hairiness of the leaves, in which point the plant seems very variable.
