The present plant is near C. articulatus ; but differs from it in 

 having more rounded leaves and transversely wrinkled carpels in 

 a dried specimen. The leaves are nearly rounded, or slightly 

 cordate at the base, shortly acute or nearly rounded at the apex, 

 remotely serrulate on the margin, while those of C. articulatus are 

 nearly obovate, acute or rounded, but never cordate, at the base. 

 The carpels of the latter plant are not wrinkled, but rather smooth 

 even when dried.
