Notes
This species is here broadly interpreted, but I cannot see any clear differences in characters of the larger pinnae which would Warrant its subdivision. There are differences in the small basal pinnae, which in some cases have very narrow ultimate divisions, in others broad divisions, comparable with the difference between C. ramispina and C. recommutata in Borneo. Many specimens however lack these basal pinnae, and it is at present impossible to estimate whether the differences in basal pinnae are in any way correlated with differences in the larger pinnae.
