This species was only previously known from the type gathering near 
Jericho. Superficially it is very close to C. lappulacea Benth. but the two 
species can be distinguished by an examination of the achenes.

Superficially this species is very similar to C. cuneifolia R. Br. but 
on the whole is larger in its parts. The two species, however, can 
immediately be distinguished by an examination of the achenes.

truncate scales . . . . . . . . . . . . . . C. cuneifolia
