Statut biogéographique : Espèce signalée de Guyane française par Aublet (Hist. Pl. Guiane, 1:
232. 06-12/1775, fide TL-2,
206; sub
Varronia globosa Jacq.), probablement par confusion avec
Varronia tomentosa Lam. 1792. D'après I.M. Johnston (J. Arnold Arbor., 16(1):
42-
43. 25/01/1935): "In the British Museum there is a collection of
C. tomentosa
made by Aublet. Among his manuscripts I have seen a good description of
the species mentioned. It is possible that Aublet identified the plant
as
Varronia globosa and that the report of
V. globosa in his book, l. c. 1:
232 (1775), may be based upon his collection of
C. tomentosa."
