Species Description

Very distinctive. Seems to be a match for C. angustiloba.

Lobes with an abrupt hump at base, extending into a long linear process, terminal lobe linear. Petioles purple. Looks to be the same as this labeled var. trevirorum - collected from Cardiff in 1933 by A.F. Wade.

Also appears to be present around Belgium see this by dsklbenl, this, this, this, this, this and possibly this by Maico Weites.
