Note. – Boissier in Flora Orientalis reduced the species to synonymy of C. pectinata, whereas both CULLEN (1965) and HEDGE (1968), who did not list C. oxycarpa in their accounts, recognized the former as a subspecies of C. impatiens L. The first author agrees with KHATRI (1988) in maintaining C. pectinata as a distinct species related to the former.
