Discussion
Cryphaea nervosa usually grows in more humid habitats than does C. glomerata; the two species are often intermingled. The narrowly pointed leaves of C. nervosa make it easy to recognize in the field. The costa is often so prominent that the leaves of dry plants appear to be plicate.
Selected References
None.
