This species occurs from India to Ethiopia and the Sudan, extending towards the drier areas of Namibia, the Northern Province and Northern Cape in southern Africa. Map 4.
Stems usually very slender, yellowish. Flowers 2.5-3.5 mm long, in umbellate cymes on short pedicels, thin in texture, 5- or some­times 4-merous, shining and yellowish when dry. Calyx campanulate-turbinate; triangular or ovate-lanceolate lobes very acute to acuminate, longer than or ± as long as tube, erect to reflexed. Corolla campanulate; lobes narrow and very acute, erect or spreading, usually longer than tube. Stamens shorter than corolla lobes; anthers as long as or shorter than fila­ments. Scales none. Ovary globose; styles slen­der, as long as or longer than ovary, subequal. Capsule globose, irregularly circumscissile near base. Seeds ovoid, ± 1.5 mm long; hilum short. Flowering time December to March.

Stem slender, branched. Heads sessile, dense, globose, many-flowered; flowers sessile. Calyx campanulate, 1 lin. long, 5-partite almost to the base; lobes ovate, acute. Corolla campanulate, scarcely longer than the calyx; lobes slightly exceeding the tube, narrowly triangular-ovate, very acute; scales broadly-oblong, fimbriate. Stamens slightly exserted, shorter than the corolla-lobes. Styles 2, shorter than the stigmas. Stigmas slender, included, together with the styles about 1/2 in. long. Capsule circumscissile; seeds brown, testa rough.

Stems dark-coloured when dry, shorter than in C. hyalina. Flowers in umbellate clusters subtended by a broadly ovate carinate blunt bract barely 1 1/2 lin. long, shortly pedicellate. Calyx broadly campanulate, 1 lin. or a little over 1 lin. long; lobes broadly ovate, obtuse, 5-partite nearly to the base, closely imbricate. Corolla yellowish-white, broadly campanulate, 1 1/2 lin. long, without any scales but foveolate opposite the lobes, or small blunt scales sometimes present; lobes very broadly ovate, obtuse, as long as the tube. Stamens short, inserted in the sinuses; filaments flattened. Styles subulate, shorter than the ovary; stigma capitate. Capsule probably circumscissile near the base.

Stems usually very slender, under 0.5 mm. in diameter. Flowers whitish, rather shining, 2.5–3 mm. long and 2.5 mm. broad, in loose umbellate clusters; pedicels about equalling the flowers. Calyx-lobes sharply acute, often exceeding the corolla. Corolla-lobes narrow and very acute, erect or reflexed. Stamens about 1 mm. long. Scales not present in any specimens seen from East Africa. Styles slender, equalling or exceeding the ovary. Capsule thin, depressed-globular; intrastylar opening small with a longitudinal groove from each end running down the capsule.

Stems usually very slender, under 0·5 mm. in diam. Inflorescences rather loose umbellate clusters. Flowers 2–3·5 mm. long on short pedicels, thin in texture, sometimes 4-merous, shining and yellowish when dry, often glandular. Calyx campanulate-turbinate; lobes triangular-ovate, acuminate often exceeding and enclosing the corolla, erect to reflexed. Corolla campanulate, becoming globular about the developing fruit; lobes narrow and very acute, erect or spreading and reflexed in old flowers, usually longer than the tube. Stamens shorter than the corolla lobes; filaments somewhat stout, as long or longer than anthers. Scales absent. Ovary globose, more or less depressed; styles slender, as long as or longer than the ovary, somewhat unequal. Capsule depressed-globose, irregularly splitting near the base; intrastylar opening small with a longitudinal groove from each end running down the capsule. Seeds ovoid, about 1·5 m. long.
