Hallier (I.e.) gives this species and G. macrostegium a place 

 among the Paniculata, in the opinion that they have an affinity 

 with C. villosum, C. infortunatum, C. Lindaivianum, etc. Perhaps 

 this affinity is a fact, but this — as it seems to us — does not 

 justify its place among the Paniculata, since its inflorescences are 

 typically densiflorous, and it is, moreover, connected with the 

 present subsection, by C. macradenium, which shows, as well 

 as C. fragrans the characteristic large glands on leaves and bracts.
