Remarks
doi:10.11646/phytotaxa.588.1.1 Etymology: 'A. Lourteig in 1971 identified that the collection “Irwin et al. 23426” belonged to a new species, naming it as “C. auriflora” in the labels of several herbaria. Since the name was never published, it was decided to keep the specific epithet as a tribute to Lourteig. The specific epithet refers to the yellow color of the flowers'.
