Diagnostic description

This species has been much confused in herbaria with the widespread introduced annual weed C. trilocularis but it cannot be included with this species since it is a perennial. It is possibly of hybrid origin with C. asplenifolius as one parent and C. trilocularis as the other. From: Wild, H. 1984. Tiliaceae. Fl. S. Africa 21(1): 1-44. Botanical Research Institute, Pretoria. [http://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/item/209546#page/1/mode/1up] [CC BY]
