erect or spreading herb of open forests), C.
monticola (in alpine and sub-alpine areas) and C.
gunnianum which is found at altitudes of less than 100
m in grasslands and woodlands in areas subject to
inundation.
All three species have golden flower heads on erect stalks.

as described in the Student's Flora, along with Ozothamnus,
Argentipallium,
