NOTE: Taxonomically complex; needs further work.  Higgins (1971) stated, in reference to his study:
"The species C. bradburiana, sheldonii, macounii, and celosioides as recognized by Payson [1927] in his monograph were combined by Higgins 1971."
Recent research (Hasenstab & Kelley, in prep.) indicates that these taxa should be separated, as done in our website, work in progress.
