Notes
Gerrard's 1475 in Herb. Kew serves as a connecting link between this species, of which it has the broad leaves, and C. transvaalensis, of which it has the long calyx-lobes. C. maxima, Schoch, is based on a specimen which has, on the other hand, the calyx-lobes rather shorter than usual, but does not otherwise differ from normal C. rosacea; it is to this last form that Gerrard 1475 in Herb. Dublin belongs.
