Observations: —Notes
1. This taxon cannot be identified with any known species. Luther’s comment, “This is very doubtfully a variety of G. sanguinea and may be conspecific with G. fusispica Mez & Sodiro; regardless, the type and the only illustration are so poor that a positive identification is impossible.
2. C. myriostigma was never published and the provisional name for C. sanguinea var. erecta should it be determined to be distinct
