  • Etymology: "The epithet is derived from the Latin commiscens, mixing or mingling, in recongition of the close relationship and past confusion between this taxon and subsp. betchei and C. dactylotes."
  • Text: "Specimens in other herbaria have often been labelled by me as 'C. dactylotes (long-glumed form)'."
