Taxonomic and geographical notes

Phanera glauca subsp. tenuiflora var. murlenensis is here synonymised with C. quinnanensis comb. nov. on the grounds that the description does not differ significantly from that of C. quinnanensis comb. nov., and that the specimen's locality is in Mizoram state in northern India, which is adjacent to Assam state in which C. quinnanensis comb. nov. subsp. quinnanensis is known to occur.
