Distribution and habitat

Habit
Subshrub or shrub 50–100 cm tall
Key characteristics
The main defining character is the typical stem ridges running from node to node, and by the laxly spread inflorescence with 12-24 flowers to each cyme. Although geographically isolated, it is closely related to C. talcana and C. andina (Ehrhart, 2005)
