Reference(s):

• Diels, L. (1931)
• Rhodes, D. G. (1975)

Status: this genus has not yet been assessed for species diversity and endemism

Additional taxonomic work: required at species level

Species level data entry: not yet complete

Note: Preliminary assessment of this genus suggests that Rhodes' worldwide treatment does not deal adequately with the variation in Madagascar - he saw very little Malagasy material, and most of it was summarily lumped into C. pareira.
