Alternative taxonomy: this species is presented in its narrow sense but forms part of a metaspecies or genetic complex. Bruyns (1985 has proposed an alternative hypothesis reducing C. geniculata R.A.Dyer and C. connivens R.A.Dyer to subspecies under this species. In his classification subspecies geniculata and connivens do not occur in the EC. From: Nicholas, A; Glen, M; Shuttleworth, A; Bester, SP. 2019. Apocynaceae.
